July 11 CHP 139 v 16 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

Your eyes saw my unformed body ,all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 

(GODS BIG BOOK)

ordain - To ordain means to order or decree (see decrees of God). It can mean to cause something to happen or to allow it to occur depending on the context. God can ordain things to occur without directly causing them.

Step Three - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Whos story are you living ? That is a great question to ask yourself next time you look in the mirror . Most have no idea that God has a book and your first name is the title on the cover. God has plans to prosper you and to give you a hope and a future . Could it be possible that your life is a train wreck because your making up your own story , alone and guessing and hoping every little choice you make does not lead to another disaster. I have said it before , God has given us the gift of free will and choice and He could force you to follow Him but if He did that you would be insincere and unappreciative , for His love and guidance. If your are self medicating , angry , sad , and afraid to even open your eyes then stop writing your own story and ask God to help you out of the old one and start living the new one He has written . Think of it like this turn the clock all the way back to when you were a very small child your playing in the living room and you see on TV a movie preview .Stunned and stuck at what your watching play out on TV you realize I must see that now and you run into your parents room and start begging and pleading with them to take you to see that movie , after a good forty five minutes of nagging they relent and will take you Sunday before 5 because it was cheaper back then .Remember that excitement you felt in the car when your Mom is filling her purse with snacks to save money and the moment you get to the window to buy the tickets and you could barely see over the counter. The doors open and a crowd rushes out and following right behind is the aroma of freshly cooked popcorn , at this point your so excited you cant stand still . Find that somewhere deep in your heart and realize God has a movie and book like that with your name on it He just waiting for you to come to the theater.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.(GODS BIG BOOK) BY Joseph Dickerson
