Destiny

Last night we watched a video teaching by Beth Moore in her Esther series. She talked about "destiny" and reflected on the Esther 4:14-15 verses that are so popular - that Esther was the Queen "for such a time as this."

Here's some common denominators about destiny . . .

1) We expect it to feel different than it does.
2) It will often be crisis that God uses to pivot our direction
3) There is human dilemma in destiny - like . . .
a) poor timing (this is not the right time for this! But God's time is always prime-time!)
b) unreasonable expectations (this is humanly impossible for me to step into)
c) it's tough being a person thrown a giant sized weight
d) risky identification - destiny appoints one and effects many
4) one of the most important parts of fulfilling our destiny will be transparency
a) the revelation of a person's destiny always demands revelation of the person

Have you thought about destiny before? I think the future moves toward us and when we come into it, what are we doing? Have you thought about God bringing about your destiny or that he even cares about that?

He does! Thanks for sharing last night and I pray that all of us will be able to come into a new revelation of God's destiny for us!
