God didn’t send you into the world to find out what you’ll do or become. Some people reason that God found them after they were born, but that isn’t correct! The Bible says, “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward” (Psalm 127:3 NASB), meaning that He’s the One who gave you to your parents, not that your parents had you and then God found you.
You were on His mind ever before He created this world; He knew everything about you, planned for you and then chose to give you to your parents as a gift. To some measure, they are responsible for what happens to you, but as you grow up and develop, you become responsible for whatever choices you make, and what you become in life.
Perhaps no one reckons with you because you’re the youngest amongst so many children, or you look frail and fragile and no one thinks highly about you. When these thoughts arise in your mind, just remember David, who was the ‘runt of the litter’ but became God’s chosen king of Israel, and Gideon, who was the least in the weakest tribe in Israel but was greatly used by God to liberate Israel from bondage. That’s why I say to you today, “You’re not an accident. God has a plan for your coming!”
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your Word to me today, and I receive it into my spirit. My life is not an accident, and I’m not a child of chance. I live a fruitful life, fulfilling the purpose to which I was born and called. Nobody and no force can stop me because I’m functioning in the power of the Holy Spirit, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
