PRE-ORDAINED PATHS
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [TAKING PATHS WHICH HE PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME], THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (AMP)
This above scripture clearly says that God has preordained paths for us to walk in. We don't just walk or live, we live in preordained paths. To preordain or predestine means to plan ahead of time, that is before one was born.
God prepared our lives; how we should live through this world and what we should be about before we came. We came into this world because of His preordained purpose. We fullfill His preordained purpose by walking in His preordained paths.
What is preordained paths? First it's worth noting, that the paths is in plural not singular 'path.' It's not path, which is the way of life or way of living. But paths, which means course of life, endeavours and dreams. There are courses, endeavours and dreams God preordained for you to walk in. As you yield yourself to the Word and the Holy Spirit your preordained paths become clearer and clearer to you and you are enabled to walk in them.
Don't just have a course, don't just pursue a dream, there are preoedained paths for you, find out and walk in them. Praise God!
CONFESSION
I'm God's handiwork created for good works which God predestined, planned beforehand for me. Taking the paths which He prepared ahead of time that I should walk in them living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for me to live. Predestination is at work in me causing me to live as I should, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
