Judges 13-14, John 1:29-51, Psalms 102:1-28, Proverbs 14:15-16
What God said to me – There have been many books and movies about people who travel from this time to a time past or a time in the future to find happiness and purpose. Many people waste their lives wishing things were different – wishing they lived in a different time or place or wishing they had a different family or wishing they had wealth and prosperity. My sovereignty is over every detail of your life. I put you where I put you for a reason. I put you in the time and place and family you are in for a reason. Look at Samson – I put him in the time and place he was in to deliver Israel from the Philistines – even before he was born, I made it clear to his parents. I put John the Baptist in the time and place he was so he could make way for My Son, Jesus – so he could call people to repentance and point them to salvation. Look to Me and I will teach you and show you why you are where you are, and I will use you to accomplish My purpose as you surrender your life to Me.
