I'm starting this new Bible Study by Beth Moore called Esther. I'm very excited about it. I don't know if you knew this, I certainly didn't, but God's name is not mentioned one time in that whole book. Weird, huh? Anyway, as I was watching the intro video she said something that caught me by surprise. She made this statement, "God will not fulfill your destiny without YOU!"

Now, think about that. I guess our lives will progress until we get old and die or we die by some other means. And whatever happens in the between time will, in essence, be our destiny. But will it be the way God wanted it be? As I thought about that statement, I realized that I want to be an active part of MY destiny. I want it be the way God wants it to be. The only way that's going to happen is for me to ask Him, to seek His every step for my life.

As it is right now, I don't ask Him what He wants me to do each day. I don't ask Him what He wants me to do next week, or next month. I haven't asked Him in a long time what He wants me to do next year. I want God to fulfill my destiny with ME! I want to be there every step of the way and I want the Destiny God intended for me when he 'knit me together in my mother's womb'! Because, I know THAT'S the destiny that will bring me true joy, peace, and a life worth living. Not to mention, when I seek God's destiny for me, I give Him the worship He deserves. When I die, I want people to say, "God fulfilled her destiny WITH HER and she loved every minute of it!"
