Destiny

My destiny is to successfully complete everything I put my hand to.

My destiny is to get up every single time I fall, then continue moving forward.

My destiny is to fulfill the desires of my heart.

My destiny is to experience my dreams coming true.

My destiny is to be everything God wants me to be.

In fact, my destiny is to be exactly like Jesus Christ.

Because the Lord tells me in His Word, “… for whom He did foreknow, He also did predestine to be conformed to the image of His Son.” (Romans 8:29)  And He also assures me, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13.)

Feelin’ Old When You Look in the Mirror?

SMILEY - SAD FACE - BLUE(I originally posted this short article a little over a year ago, but since we keep getting older, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to have a little reminder along about now.)

When Moses was 120, he had just led close to 3 million people out of Egyptian bondage to a land of freedom, but his eyes were not weak, nor was his strength abated; when Caleb was 85, he waged successful warfare against the Anakim to take possession of Mt. Hebron as his own property in the land of Canaan; when Grandma Moses was 100, she was still painting (and getting paid for) the pictures that made her famous; when Eamon de Valera was 91, he had led Ireland in its fight for independence and was still serving as her president; and when Winston Churchill was 82, he wrote the 4-volume “History of the English-Speaking People.” So what’s a few wrinkles got to do with anything?
