"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things ~ and the things that are not ~ to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him." ~I Cor. 1:28-29
LESSON LEARNED: YOU are NOT an accident! The Lord created you with much love and intent. Now, you may already have an idea what His purpose for your life is or your life may be such a series of ups and downs and round and rounds and you have no idea WHAT His purpose could possibly be for anything that has come your way.
I have wondered that many times, myself. I am a surviving twin and have often asked, "why me?" Why was I blessed to have had to opportunity to walk this earth, to experience defeat and triumph, deep sorrow and incredible happiness? Why was she blessed to have gone almost immediately into the Presence of the Lord?
Well, as we look at the family tree of Jesus (Matt. 1:2-16), God's plan may not have anything to do with us, but might have everything to do with our children or some future descendant as they fulfill some glorious plan. What a thought! You? Yes. Me? Wow, could it be?! Could it be that everything we have gone through ~ every struggle with the "lions and bears" in our own lives has groomed us into the people God desires us to be as He uses us for His kingdom?
YES! The battle is His & HE trains us and equips us with the "armor" we will need to do His work right where He has put us so that . . .
". . . the whole world will know that there is a God . . . "

Kim, this was an awesome post. I do believe there is a plan in place for each of us. Many of the purposes of our life will unfold and we will know what the Lord expects of us. Our choices of course can change our direction. We are equipped to fight our battles with the armor of God.Blessings to you for a very enlightening post and hugs to you!
