Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 12 July 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - What is In Your Story
What is In Your Story
Isaiah 62:4 KJV - Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Every day we make choices that shape our life story. What would your life look like if you let godly principles guide those choices?
If someone asked you to tell your life’s story, what would you say?
You might start with where you were born and how you were raised. You might mention friends you've encountered. Maybe you’d talk about your successes and some failures in life.
If you’re married, you might describe how you met your spouse. If you’re not married, you might describe why. If you’re a parent, you might scroll through some photos on your phone and show off your family. Or maybe you’d describe your career path. The question this morning is, "What’s in your story?"
Most of us have chapters we’d rather not share with anyone. Maybe you’ve ended up somewhere you never wanted to be. You didn’t mean to blow it, but you did. You made decisions that took you farther than you ever intended to go.
You did some things that cost you more than you ever imagined. You hurt people. You compromised your values. You broke promises. You did things you feel like you can’t undo. You felt if God can bring back the hands of time, there are few corrections you could have made.
Beloved, your story is not over. It’s not too late to change the story you’ll tell one day.
There’s good news: YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER. It’s not too late to change the story you’ll tell one day. Regardless of what you’ve done or haven’t done, your future is unwritten. Regardless of your age and background, you can start writing your future today.
You have more victories to win, more friends to meet, more of a difference to make, more of God’s goodness to experience. Whether or not you like the plot so far, with God’s help, you can transform your story into one you’re proud to share.
No matter how uncertain, afraid, or stuck you may feel right now, your story continues today.
What will you start today? Ask yourself, What do I need to start doing to move in the direction of the life story I want to tell? Start the new chapter today and will record a lot of difference that will set your life in good motion.
Don't forget to align yourself into God's plan for your life. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT - 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.
I tell you, it is not over yet, continue writing your story in gold. You can't be defeated and you're unstoppable.
#YouAreUnstoppable

Good Morning. Wishing you all the best that comes with the new week.
Stay in Christ.
