Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.
-Ecclesiastes 6:10 (NLT)
COOPERATE WITH GOD AND BE HAPPY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you get up each day, thinking what God has to say?
Do you want to get things done your own way?
Do you know God’s destiny for your life?
Do you cooperate with him or do you constantly fight?
Everything was made by God to fit in his design
Each one plays a big role in his kingdom plan
It was known long ago what each person would be
So there’s no use arguing with God, just cooperate and be happy.
“I did it my way”, that was the phrase that ended the famous song “My Way.” As young as two years old, I heard and sang that song many times. I didn’t realize that by doing so I have disobeyed God’s plan for me. It is so sad to watch people destroy their own lives by not cooperating with God’s will for them. No wonder many of us feel incomplete, empty and have no joy.
The bible says that everything has already been decided by God even before we were born. There’s no use arguing with the one planned and who knows it all.
PRAYER
Lord, let me always cooperate with your plan.
REFLECTION
How do you actualize God’s plan for you?
