They Rejected God’s Purpose

“But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves…” (Luke 7:30)

            God has plans for you, but He will not force those plans upon you.  Our lives are intended to be one gigantic trust fall – a series of cascading events guided by the hand of God who lands us gently and intentionally in the direction and purpose He has for us.

            Unfortunately, many of us fight those plans.  God leads, but He will not drive us into His purpose against our own will.  We must give ourselves up to His will.  He will woo, but He will not coerce.

            Ask yourself today – is my life falling into His pattern and purpose, or am I rejecting His plans because they do not match my own?

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
