Let new life spring forth! (Isaiah 43:18-19)
Enlarge the place of your tent and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling; do not spare, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited (Isaiah 54:2-5).
I’ve witnessed life from different perspectives, both large and small. The large was made up of ability, talent, and training, while the small was, ‘to be still and know I am God’'. During life’s still moments, we learn to wait patiently, trusting God’s timing and allowing His hand to guide us on in new directions. You discover trust and faith in the stillness.
Upon creating humanity and everything on earth, God saw his work and proclaimed, ‘it is good’. When you can look upon your life and say, ‘it is good’, you have completed what the Lord gave you to do. Life was the gift! Work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
Seeing your life as the most important project is key. Taking meticulous notes on every aspect of your life to find where you can rid yourself of chaos or battles.
While you might experience good things in some areas, true goodness requires embracing the fullness of who you are. Working out your salvation involves echoing God’s words back to Him by saying, ‘it is good’, or ‘it is finished’.
That statement grants God the authority to enlarge your boundaries or to take you home. Complete the assigned tasks. Your work is your life, and your life is the task!
Heaven is where your reward is, not in this earthly realm. “It is done, it is finished,” Jesus proclaimed. As a reward, He was granted kingship over every kingdom in heaven and on earth.
Your life is part of His inheritance. Make your life worthy for the king!
