Spoiler Alert - I Have a Past
Present and Promise aka Future
Family let us not be distracted by “People, Places or Things” (nouns)
We Keep it Pushing towards our Testimony my last name is Williams not Winans while it must be nice to have your Testimony be no Testimony I am a woman that has Lived Family.
Let’s Talk About It…
I have a story to tell want to hear it here it go:
Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
This verse assures us that God has good plans for our lives, filled with hope and a prosperous future.
Isaiah 43:19: "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
My new Life Verse as I shared on 5/18/23 called “Life Verse” check it out please and thank you and get you a Life Verse!
Psalm 139:14: "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
This verse reminds us that we are intricately designed by God and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and we should find our identity in Him rather than in people, places, or things.
1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
This verse highlights that we are chosen by God, set apart, and called to be His representatives.
Ephesians 2:10: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Here, we learn that we are God's handiwork, created with a purpose to fulfill the good works He has prepared for us.
2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Through our faith in Christ, we are transformed and given a new identity. The past no longer defines us, and we can embrace the new life and purpose that God has for us.
Philippians 1:6: which says, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
This verse assures us that God is continually working in our lives and that He will bring about His plans for us in due time.
Remember that these verses are just a small sample of the many promises found in the Bible. The Lord defines who we are, and it is through His words that we find our true identity and purpose.
Ultimately, finding our identity in God and trusting in His promises allows us to “Function Forward” with confidence and hope. We can rest assured that our future is secure in His hands, and as we continue to seek Him, our latter days will indeed be better than our former days.
All Prayed Up:
Thank you, Lord, for your unfailing love and for the plans you have for me. I pray for a heart that is aligned with your purposes, that I may be a vessel of your love and light in this world. Help me to love others as you love me, to show compassion, forgiveness, and kindness in all my interactions. I commit my present and my future into your loving care. I trust that you are not finished with me yet and that the best is yet to come. Strengthen my faith and help me to remain steadfast in your promises. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
