Sept 23                                                                    The Power of God’s Word
No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God-his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.
-1 Corinthians 2:7 (NLT)
BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Did you know that God planned for you before the world began?
He already knew from the beginning what you would become
God the Father had great plans for you long before you came
He created you in his image so that like him, you will also reign.
He reveals the mystery of his plan to those who have faith in him
The Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of all those who believe
If you dwell in him and seek the truth that comes from his word
He will fulfill all his promises and bring you victory over the world.
Are you feeling down and defeated? Has life been a struggle for you lately? Be glad for the Lord promised that he will bless those who are poor, grieving and those who hunger and thirst for justice. Before the world began, God had a master plan for you. This mystery is revealed to you through the Holy Spirit and written in the book of life, the bible.
PRAYER
Lord, make me hunger for your words every day.
REFLECTION
How are you responding to the legacy he gave you so that you can enjoy all the fullness of his promises?
