QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

GHG SHORT DEVOTIONALS - 7 (GOD HAS A PURPOSE UPON YOUR LIFE)

Luke 9:53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

Jesus had planned to go to Jerusalem and His disciples went to a Samaritan village to prepare for Him but the people in the village did not receive Him.

1. There is always God's purpose behind closed doors, unanswered prayers and rejected relationships.

Even in your life, you might face closed paths or someone might have rejected you. God has a plan about your life. Stay in God’s presence and find God's will and go ahead according to His plan.

Luke 9:54-55 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.

2. You are filled by God's Holy Spirit and today God doesn't want you to carry bitterness against someone who rejected you. Something might not be happening as you had expected. Do not curse yourself, your life or others for what’s happening around you.

Elijah did brought fire from heaven but what He did is according to God’s word and to bring glory to God’s name.

3. Do not use God’s calling and power for your own desires and to fulfil your will. You are called for a greater cause and obey what God asks you to do.

Jesus came to save men’s lives and not to destroy them.


4. Even today you might be facing a tough situation in your life. People might come against you for no reasons. Do not get discouraged. God will save you and lead you in His path.
