God Is Preparing Me for My Place: Trusting His Timing and Provision

 

God Is Preparing Me for My Place

   In the beginning, God provided abundantly for humanity:

"Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.'" – Genesis 1:29

                                    

"Lush green garden symbolizing God's provision in Eden"

        This verse reminds us that God's provision was established from the very start. Just as He prepared Eden for Adam and Eve, He prepares places of provision and protection for us today. Consider Goshen, the land reserved for the Israelites in Egypt. 

Jesus assured us:

"I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also." - John 14:3

   Your place is ready. Trust in God's preparation, both of the place and of you. Step forward in faith, knowing that He has equipped you for every good work in His perfect timing. It was a place of safety and abundance amidst turmoil. God didn't just prepare Goshen; He prepared the Israelites to inhabit it. Similarly, God is preparing you for your designated place. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we receive reconciliation, redemption, and restoration. Through Him, we are restored to the fullness of God's promises, gaining access to all He has prepared for us. God's pattern is clear: He creates the place before the person. Eden was ready before Adam was formed. Your place is prepared; now, God is preparing you to step into it.

   You might wonder why you're not there yet. It's because God is molding you, shaping your character, and aligning your heart with His purpose. Trust the process, for when the preparation is complete, you'll find everything you need already in place.  Remember, God's timing is perfect. Just as He provided for Elijah through the widow at Zarephath, He has divine arrangements set for you. Your provision is waiting; your role is to be ready to receive it. Let go of anything hindering your preparation. Surrender your fears, doubts, and distractions. Embrace the molding process, knowing that God is crafting you for a purpose-filled place.

   

📖 Reflection: Are you allowing God to mold and prepare you for the place He has destined for you?

💡 Action Step: Identify and release anything hindering your preparation. Embrace the process, trusting in God's perfect timing and provision.

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
