For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

Romans 8:29 says, For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate. Predestination is at work in you. God has a divine plan for your life, and He has set events and their sequence in motion in line with His divine plan.

Consider John the Baptist, for example, whose entire ministry was for the sole purpose of making the Messiah known to Israel. God could have simply told John where to find Jesus, but John had to follow God's instructions and wait for the sign he was given: Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

Finally, Jesus stood before him, and John recognized Him (John 1:29-34). It unfolded precisely according to Gods divine plan. Consider too, Samuels intriguing visit to anoint one of Jesse's sons as king (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Samuel thought he had found the Lords anointed when he saw Eliab, with his impressive stature. But God said, Not him, for I have rejected him. One by one, Jesse brought seven of his sons before Samuel, and each time God said, Not this one.

God could have simply told Samuel who to anoint, but He allowed the process to unfold step by step. Finally, Samuel asked Jesse, Are here all thy children? Jesse admitted that there was still one more son, David, who was tending the sheep. When David was brought before Samuel, the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he (1 Samuel 16:12). God's divine plan for David came to pass according to His preordained design.

God has a plan for your life and its a good one. He has predestined your life for His glory and He knows exactly where you are in His divine plan. You dont need to be in a hurry or get in a frenzy trying to fulfil His destiny for your life. He has all the events and their sequence planned out in line with His divine purpose.

Yours is to follow the path which Hes prearranged ahead of time. Ephesians 2:10 AMPC says, For we are Gods [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

Prayer

Dear Father, I trust you wholeheartedly, knowing that you have predestined my life for your glory. My life is a testimony of your faithfulness, and I yield myself to your perfect will, ever advancing and fulfilling all you have called me to do, in Jesus Name. Amen.
