How To Move Forward!
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you."
Jeremiah 1: 5
It’s boggling to imagine what God was doing before creation
of the universe. Since He is from “everlasting to everlasting”
(Psalm 90:2), there was a kind of infinity before time began.
But only God Himself can understand that.
Yet, we do have a few hints about it from the Bible.
We know the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit enjoyed
rich fellowship, for Jesus prayed about the glory and
love He shared with Father before the world began
(John 17:5, 24).
Ephesians 1:4 says that God chose us in Christ
“before the foundation of the world.” Matthew 25:34
says that God has prepared a kingdom for us
“from the foundation of the world.”
God also knew you and planned your life in advance, so you
could live with purpose and fulfillment. Before He formed you
in the womb, He knew you and set you apart to serve Him.
The apostle Paul said the same thing in Galatians 1:15.
Jesus has a lifetime of purpose stored up for you.
Don’t waste a moment of it, but seek His guidance
and go forward into His perfect will.
"It should not surprise us that God was planning
His kingdom before He created the universe."
