So I know you can deliver me from those who persecute me relentlessly. My life, my every moment, my destiny-it’s all in your hands. I leave my destiny and its timing in your hands. You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion. Lord, I have chosen you alone as my inheritance. So much of your life, then, remains a mystery! It is the Lord who directs your life, for each step you take is ordained by God to bring you closer to your destiny. Then you will discover all that is just, proper, and fair, and be empowered to make the right decisions as you walk into your destiny. So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Before we were even born, he gave us our destiny that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in his heart.
