Motivation Monday - Why God Has Your Past, Present and Future
“Something has to die before something can be raised. He is still Resurrection when things have died in you and all around you. God does not hold time in segments like the past, the present and the future. ”
We are wired to focus on one point in time at a time. It is difficult to remember the past, focus on the present and think about the future all at the same time. We sometimes long to go back to the past, or we want to forget it entirely or do it over. We wish we had more than we have in our present. And we spend sleepless nights fearing our future.
God has your past, present and future.
What you have been through.
Where you are now.
And making you brave enough to face your future.
You are who He thinks on 24/7. Even when you forget about Him and His love for you, He always had you on His mind.
Psalm 139:15-18 (TPT):
You even formed every bone in my body
when you created me in the secret place;
carefully, skillfully you shaped me from nothing to something.
You saw who you created me to be before I became me![
Before I’d ever seen the light of day,
the number of days you planned for me
were already recorded in your book.
Every single moment you are thinking of me!
How precious and wonderful to consider
that you cherish me constantly in your every thought!
O God, your desires toward me are more
than the grains of sand on every shore!
When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.
God Thought of You In Your Past
God does not just go back to your past before the world got messy, He goes right back to the creation and fashioning of every fibre of your being. He created you out of nothing into someone magnificent and your value has never been diminished in His eyes.
God Thinks of You in Your Present
God is thinking of you every single moment in your current journey. Wherever you are, however you are, and whatever you need, He thoughts are for you. He sees the moments of your off-kilter, unsettled, unsure and yet graced life and his love still bleeds for you to know how much He cares.
God is Totally Involved in Your Future
He has planned your days! What a relief when you don’t know what tomorrow will bring or when it will bring it, that God does! He sees it, he draws you to it. Every moment that He is asking you to walk on water, He is securely positioned to hold you up and pick you up when you fall. There is a destiny to your every step, but only if you keep going toward Jesus.
It has long been said of God’s saints – that they suffer.
Resurrection
only comes from suffering.
Something has to die before something can be raised. He is still Resurrection when things have died in you and all around you. God does not hold time in segments like the past, the present and the future.
In God’s Kairos time, He sees the entire story, the whole graced trajectory of your life.
He writes the beginning, middle and end of your story and it is stunning.
Genesis moments await you.
Remember that Genesis moments are created out of past and present chaos, and bring the possibility of something new in the future. God and only God has the ability to create something new for you out of the chaos of the past. Believe it. Watch for it. And step into it.
I believe in you.
