God Is Positioning You To Be Blessed

Isaiah 58:11 And the Lord shall GUIDE thee continually and SATISFY thy soul in drought, and make thy bones FAT: and thou shalt be like a WATERED garden, and like a spring of water, whose water fail not.

The Omniscience of God knows the end and beginning of EVERYTHING He created. Was it not He who said, Behold everything was good and very good that He created for His glory. Today, I want each of you to know that regardless your lot or fate in life, regardless of the circumstances around your how you got here, regardless of the brokenness of your childhood, and the pain of your past, God Loves You!

All of the hurt, pain, disappointments, shattered dreams and forfeited hope has left your life in shambles. You had NO CONTROL over what happened to you, but God was IN CONTROL of you. This is why God is in hot pursuit to save you, so He can order your steps and break NEW ground in your life. God’s goal for us requires Him to undo our belief system that’s used to doing “our way”. God takes you right where you are, messed up and all, then POSITIONS you and me towards His Purpose and Plan!

Our text says that the Lord shall GUIDE us continually, even though we might not be mindful of “HOW” He’s doing it, but trust me, He is. God works through EVERY negative thing used against you, to ADVANCE YOU! It’s a paradigm shift in the mind. He turns your pain into power and every disappointment into a Divine Appointment. God seeks to disrupt the flow of sin and evil in us so that His love and blessings can flow UNINTERRUPTED in our lives. God wants our every move to be a blessed one. It doesn’t mean we cease to have trials, but we’re so deep with Him that we didn’t recognize that it was a trial. He is just that good!

Be mindful what God promises to do for YOU throughout the verse. Satisfy our souls in drought? Ever hit rock bottom before? Well, that’s a drought! Everything around you looks dried out and useless, then comes to the Lord to “RAIN ON OUR PARADE” in a good way based on text today. He says, Thou shalt be like a watered garden. Gardens don’t water themselves, but persons who love gardens take time to nurture and care for it. The Lord is ready to EXPLODE our lives into living testimonies of His Power and Glory. He wants the world to know that it pays to serve the Lord.

As God Positions Us, Assigns Us and Realigns Us for His Glory, it might not be pretty or pleasant, but we will come forth more poised, patient, and powerful. The day we stop trying to “understand” what God is doing, the better off we’ll be. Get in position to ACCEPT what He knows is the best route we should take. The goal of the Lord is for us to Let God, then Let Go. He gives us the needed power and strength of mind to fulfill His will on a daily basis. A full surrender of our plans, goals, agenda, and aspirations MUST be surrendered to God in prayer so He can fix our circumstances to match His Will for us.

Saul whose name was changed to Paul was totally made over and his life redirected by God who positioned him to be blessed. When you and I read the New Testament, most of the books were written by the Apostle Paul. He didn’t know that when Stephen was being stoned and he said it, that God was positioning him to be blessed.

When Paul got to the end of his earthly assignment, he had this testimony in 2 Timothy 4:7, I Fought, I Finished, and I Kept…..
