Don’t risk missing your destiny

No amount of difficulty — whether persecution, affliction or any resistance you’re experiencing — will stop you from fulfilling God’s purpose for your life, if you’re fully committed to Him and to following His leading.

Sometimes when we step out, those difficulties and challenges seem to intensify. Does that mean we’re going in the wrong direction? Absolutely not. In fact, it’s quite possible those very things are indicators we are indeed going in the right direction.

When my husband, Paul and I stepped out in preparation to serve God overseas, we began to experience a lot of opposition. It would’ve been easy to question what we were doing. Choosing to stay tuned into God’s voice in the midst of those difficulties, made room for us to hear Him speak. He said, ‘Those giants that you are yet to slay will not stop you from fulfilling your purpose, as long as you stay focused and committed to the journey that I am taking you on. Don’t miss my signposts, my everyday confirmations. Keep watch for them so you don’t miss one of them.’

There would be nothing worse than missing the signposts God was pointing out to us and finding ourselves going around in circles. This would be a total waste of time and energy! When deciding to stand up and move into the call of God, it’s easy to look at the challenges or obstacles that stand in our way and say; ‘This is not right’. Or worse still, ‘This is too difficult.’ We need to keep our eye on the guide — who is God — and listen to His voice. He will point out each landmark, helping us navigate the twists and turns on the journey to the destination He has prepared for us.

Q: What’s one step you are willing to take today to move towards your God-given purpose? Q: What do you need to do to put that one step into action? Q: Who can you confide in to keep you accountable on your journey?

This God is our God forever and ever; He will lead us for all time to come. Psalm 48:14 (GNT)

I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress. Don’t be like a senseless horse or mule that has to have a bit in its mouth to keep it in line! Psalm 32:8-9 (TLB)
