PREPARATION PROCESS


Do you feel that your life to this point has been a total failure? Maybe you once had a dream for what you could accomplish, and right now it appears that you have fallen desperately short of the mark. Maybe you have made some mistakes and have made a complete mess of everything, and it's caused you to believe that your only choice is to give up and quit. Maybe something painful happened in your childhood or in your past, something that causes you to wonder: "Why me? Why did I have to do through this?"

God can use the events of your life as points of preparation for the calling he has given you.

Moses spent 40 years tending flocks belonging to his father-in-law. It would appear to a casual observer that Moses had been forgotten by God — that he had failed and had become nothing more than a could-have-been.

But God didn't forget about Moses and he didn't forget about the plight of his people. During this time there were some important changes taking place in Moses' personal life — this forty years as sheep-herder was a time of character building. God was waiting for the day when he could use Moses in a great way. God called to him from the middle of the burning bush, “Moses! Moses!” “Here I am!” Moses replied. (Exodus 3:4)

There is a reason you were born into the family into which you were born; there is a reason you grew up in the geographic area you in which you grew up; there is a reason you are alive in this generation. All the events of your life, both good and bad, are part of the process of preparation. God can use the events of your entire life — even the mistakes and the things that are beyond your control — to design your life in such a way that it will bring him glory.

Right now, today, you are being trained for God's purpose. God is using this time to prepare you for the work he has called you to do. And even your most painful, most regrettable experiences can become part of the process of preparation.

God has big plans for you, and your entire life has been leading you toward its fulfillment.
