Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed thee in the
belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified
thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
Today
is my firstborn daughter Deanna’s birthday.
At the time I am writing this devotional, she is thousands of miles away
from us today. She is a pastor’s wife in
northern Ireland. Before she was born
God knew who she was and what He wanted her to be doing right now. He sanctified or “set her apart’ and ordained
her to be a minister’s wife who would minister to the nations.
You may
have loved ones who are ministering far, far from home today. You and I need to constantly be reminded that
God is awake. Nothing slips up on
Him. There is no luck, happenstance and
nothing startles God, because, in His awesome wisdom, He always knows what is
best.
I would
rather have my children thousands of miles away from me serving God than to
have them all around my table but out of the will of God for their lives. With that in mind, we will celebrate the
birth of God’s son Jesus Christ with joy and full confidence that He is working
out his purpose in our lives. My
heavenly Father sent His only Son to Die.
I only sent my daughter to serve Jesus Christ.
