Daily Destiny

This is a gem I wrote back in 2011 and I ran across it today and thought it fitting for this time. We all have a destiny and purpose and although 

they may all look different they are ordained by God! 

So let's live with hands wide open and see what He can do even on the most ordinary of days! 

Destiny is not an endpoint. We travel from one destiny to the next on a journey of greatness.

We become so consumed in what our life’s purpose is. We constantly search for the “one thing” that God has called us to do and we spend our life searching out that “one thing” and if we ever figure it out we spend our last dying days trying to fulfill it. What kind of life is that to live? To live life searching in a game of hide-and-seek that is impossible to win?

Daddy wakes us up each morning with daily destinies. Every morning He awakens us longing to commune with our spirits because He has so much in store for us. How many mornings do we wake up and because of time we are too busy to talk to Him much less ask Him what HE would have us do that day? If we pray we go through our list of needs/wants and then ask Him to bless our day, and we may pray about our purpose but we spend all that time asking Him to reveal what our purpose it. And He simply sits there holding destiny and purpose in His hands waiting and hoping we will stop to ask for it.

So many days and divine opportunities are wasted because we are looking for “it”. The one and only purpose that we have. That one destiny. That one calling. But what about today? He has great things to unfold before you today. This day. This morning when the kids are screaming, the husband/wife is running late for work. The coffee pot is broken and the washing machine ate your favorite shirt, that morning is a morning of greatness…a morning ordained by God!

Our minds are so skewed because we let life define destiny for us. We wake up each morning with a new destiny waiting to be fulfilled and if we don’t ask Daddy what He wants us to do today, then who is setting our day in motion. We are…and we are full of anxiety, frustration, anger, etc.

We need to change our mindset and step back and reflect on who or what we allow to set our day in motion.

Each morning we should come before Daddy with a humble heart and ask Him to order our steps and in vulnerability admit that we don’t know what to do or where to go. Let Him tell you what plans He has for you. There are people who need you today and Daddy is waiting to not only tell you but fill you with the words you need to encourage someone, to speak life to someone’s situation and  to be light in your workplace.

Daddy I want to see each day as an opportunity to not only experience more of you but be used by you in a way I’ve never experienced before! I want to know you more intimately and display your glory in my everyday life. You have not called me to live a normal and mundane life; you called me to live each day in power and anointing. My circumstance, where I work, who I talk to, or where I go does not define the motion of my day. You set my day in motion and you order my steps. Purify my lips to speak your words, to speak life to dark places and to speak joy and peace to every situation in my day.

Each day is a gift. Forgive me for being too busy to accept the gift. So today with a humble heart I come before you and ask, What do you want me to do with this day? What do you want me to say? Who do you want me to encourage? Enlighten me on the importance of the gift of this day. Not tomorrow, you will wake me up and tell me the details of that then. I look to you for today, in this moment. No more missed opportunities, no more wasted days of destiny. Today I accept the divine destiny with excitement and faith that you will do great things, no matter what comes my way!
