The Story of My Life


Psalm 139:16 (NLT) You saw me before I was born. Everyday of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

God IS done writing our story, but He is certainly not done carrying it out. This is not how our story ends.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Sermon Excerpt from Talbert Swan:

God exercises rule and providential authority over the affairs of our lives. So if He allows us to get to this point, He also has a strategy for getting us through it.
God is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Beginning and the End. That means when God started, He was already at the end looking at Himself start. God does not wait for you to get into trouble to react to what the enemy is doing. God started at the end of your life and backed up, saw you would need a way out of no way, and put it in there. Backed up again, saw you would need healing, and put it in there. Backed up again, saw your child would be strung out needing deliverance, and put that in there. Then when He had backed all the way to the beginning of your life, He said, "Now start."
Your life to God is like Gilligan's Island. It's just a rerun. He has already been there and done that... already worked it out.
Keep your head up, looking toward Heaven. This is where our help comes from.

Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT)
May the LORD bless you
and protect you.
May the LORD smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the LORD show you His favor
and give you His peace.
Amen.
