Glorious Destiny

I am sure that we have all felt slighted and mistreated. I am sure we have all had times when we felt we went the extra mile, put forth the extra effort, did the extra work, only to receive no extra. Should we have expected extra? Probably not; there is no guarantee of any extra. But, we may have felt it was justified, it was warranted.

When these occasions happen, the occasions where we feel slighted, treated unfairly, we can do one of three (3) things: we can wait and let it seethe until we explode; we can voice our displeasure BUT recognize that there may be consequences for voicing such; or we can wait and rest in the fact that GOD sees what we are doing and He will make things right by and by.

Today's word is Psalm 73:24, NLT, which reads, "You guide me with Your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny."

When things aren't going exactly the way we think they should, maybe we should be willing to ask ourselves, "Why do we feel that we deserve special treatment?" I know it is easy to get into the rut of feeling sorry for ourselves; I do it as well as anyone. However, we also should know and understand that we live in a broken and fallen and human guided world, where, sometimes, things just seem a little unfair. And, yes, it is easy to say, "Well, nobody ever said that life is fair." Right, it isn't, but, there are times when it seems more unfair than usual. However, it's not about where we are; it is about where GOD is taking us.

As our scripture reminds us today, "...leading me to a glorious destiny." We can be certain that JESUS has gone to prepare a place for us in Heaven, and that He will one day come and get us to go live eternally with Him. We can also be certain that in this life, regardless of circumstance, regardless of fairness, His plan is to give us a glorious end, even here. Keep your head up. GOD is leading you to a glorious destiny.

Be Blessed,
