Jeremiah 1:5 - "I formed thee... I knew thee... I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee."
God
has a plan for each of his children. From the foot of the Cross, where
we are cradled in our second birth, to the brink of the river, where we
lay down our armor, there is a path which He has prepared for us to walk
in. God also prepares us for the path He
has chosen. We are His workmanship, created unto the good works which
He has before prepared. There is no emergency in the path for which
there has not been provision made in our nature. From the earliest
inception of his being, God had a plan for Jeremiah's career, for which
He prepared him.
Ask
what your work in the world is, that for which you were born, to which
you were appointed, and on account of which you were conceived in the
creative thought of God. That there is a Divine purpose in thy being is
indubitable. Seek that you may be permitted to realize it, and never
doubt that you have been endowed with all the special aptitudes which
that purpose may demand. God has formed you, and stored your mind with
all that He knew to be requisite for your life-work. It is your part to
elaborate and improve to the utmost the one or two talents entrusted to
your care.
Do not be jealous or covetous; do not envy another
his five talents, but answer the Divine intention in your creation,
redemption, and call to service. It is enough for thee to be what God
made thee to be, and to be always at thy best.
But in cases
where the Divine purpose is not clearly disclosed, in which life is
lived piecemeal, we must dare to believe that God has an intention for
each of us; and that if we are true to our noblest ideals, we shall
certainly work out the Divine pattern, and be permitted some day to see
it in its unveiled symmetry and beauty. To go on occupying the position
in which we have been placed by the Providence of God, and to hold it
for God till He bids us do something else! Such are golden secrets of
blessedness and usefulness.
In His Care I am protected,
Daniel Fonua
