The Nobody Syndrome (Part 5)
Psalm 139:17, 18 “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How
great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when
I awake, I am still with thee.”
David
says that the script for your life was already written by God. The Lord has
carefully mapped the details that will fill your days, ordaining what will and
will not happen. The Hebrew word the Holy Spirit has David use here indicates
that God has created each day of your life, tailoring circumstances, establishing
boundaries, and fashioning opportunities for His glory and your good. God Himself
says it in Jeremiah 29:11:
"For
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not
for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
God
doesn't just set a plan in motion and look the other way. His thoughts are on
you constantly. He greets you each morning with fresh mercy and new
opportunities, ready to go through the hours with you. He loves your company and
He has specific plans that you alone can fulfill.
-He
knows you.
-He
pursues you.
-He
made you with a purpose, and is ready to live out those plans with you each
day.
Can you still hear His still, small voice as He says, "I am so glad you are
my child. Take my hand. Let's run this race together."
Many
small church pastors feel like they've been stepped on, beat up, or kicked around.
They often feel unworthy, useless, or that their opinion doesn’t matter. Just
know this my friend, you matter to God and so does your opinion.
-Don't
let what another pastor or minister does good or bad define you.
-Don't draw conclusions
about yourself based on someone's opinion or the size of your church or ministry.
- Don't allow yourself to feel like a victim instead of getting the victory.
- Don't allow yourself to feel like a victim instead of getting the victory.
You are
not a “Nobody”! Look higher and you will find out how much you and your efforts
matter to God. You are somebody special to God in whatever place He puts you
in. If God is for you, then who can be against you?
