God has a reason for our lives
By Patsy Lambert - Contributing Columnist
God never does anything without a reason. Each one of us are in God's plan.
He has us where we are for a reason. He wants to use us for His glory.
We may not understand God's plan for our lives, but God's ways are so much higher than ours. We may have all kind of plans for our life, but God may have other plans for us.
We go through situations and wonder why things turned out the way they did.
At that time we did not understand, but later when we think about it we can see how God worked things out for our good and His glory.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55: 8-9 God calls us to be instruments of His love in this world.
He has a reason for our lives. This world is not our final home. We have an inheritance that can never perish, or fade away because of what Jesus has done for us. "To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you." 1 Peter 1: 4.
God has a reason for our lives.
