Day 41, Illumination is Blooming
First, let me say something about spring. Isn't it interesting that people light up their homes with decorations at Christmas but at Easter God lights up nature with blossoms!
Second, something is blooming outside my bedroom window that smells like cake batter!
Third, I have to confess. I have learned so much about myself and God has really been speaking to me but I haven't said a word because its all so very personal.
But here's the key:
Your Devine Purpose will be revealed when your preparedness meets God's plan.
You must be prepared. How do you get prepared? Jesus said, "How can I trust you with the big stuff if you aren't a good steward of the little stuff?"
I think Satan has messed with our definition of stewardship because we always associate it with money and that is so wrong. Stewardship is about everything you are in charge of including your abilities and emotions.
(I heard this on a radio talk show; American Family Radio; http://www.christianworkingwoman.org/)
When David was a child in the fields watching the sheep he did not squander his time. He practiced the sling shot. He practiced the lyre. He practiced writing poems. He didn't know how God would use these talents later in his life. These were the talents God gave him and he was a good steward of them.
We all have talents. God made you in a very specific way for a reason. You must be a good steward of who God made you so that when God calls for you to use those talents to glorify His name you are ready, you are prepared.
