You have a role to play in God’s plan for humanity. He created you for this purpose, His purpose. Yet sometimes it is hard to grasp that God has a plan for your life that will impact people beyond your lifetime.
Like Abram in Genesis 15, when God reveals His plans to us, we often can’t see how He could accomplish it. Abram couldn’t see how God could birth a nation from him because he was childless (2). That’s when God gave Abram a vivid example of what he could not see: “And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be (5, NASB).”
Sometimes we need to step outside of ourselves and our perceived limitations and look toward the heavens to appreciate the vastness of God. We may not understand how He could possibly accomplish His plan or our role in that plan, but we can trust God, the creator of the universe. We can have faith in His infinite wisdom.
Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. – Genesis 15:6, NASB
Wonderful post! Wishing you blessings!
Amen, Chris. I often paraphrase Psalm 102:18 in my prayers with the sense that it reflects my calling as a writer-communicator: “Write down for the coming generation what the LORD has done, so that people not yet born will praise him.”
Love that verse and its calling to writers/communicators. Thanks for sharing it, Mitch. Blessings.
You too, my friend.
