Days fashioned for You

Rebecca closed her Bible and put in down on the table.

“Lord, if You ever had a will and purpose for me, I am sorry, I think I blew it.”

“Why do you say that, Rebecca?”

“My life, Lord. I’ve just read Romans 12:2 and came to the conclusion that I am in Your good and acceptable will because I am following You, but I’ve missed Your perfect will. I mean, just look at me… struggling through my marriage, barely coping with our finances.”

“I believe there are many people in Your perfect will like Moses, David, Joyce Meyer.”

“Yes, my child and yet, when I needed Moses in Egypt, he fled. When he was supposed to talk to the rock as I told him to, he hit it with a rod. David killed his lover’s husband. In the end, all of them reached My perfect will and you know, they were and some still are people just like you.”

“Rebecca, on the day you were conceived I saw your frame and substance being yet unformed in your mother’s womb but that was not all. At that stage all your days were written down in My book when as yet there was none. Your days are fashioned for you only.” (Psalm 139:16)

“People usually think of days as time periods from sunrise to sunset and what the weather holds in store for that day. That is not what I see when I look at you. Days fashioned for you is the people you’re going to meet under different circumstances and the choices you’re going to make during that time, words you’re going to use, souls you’re going to hug.”

“Every choice and decision is solely made by you and those choices may or may not bring you closer to My perfect will.”

“You have made mistakes like every other person in the world, but child, Moses did not stay in the desert. He went back to rescue My people. David turned his life around and yes, I led them, but if you would listen closely, I’m leading you too.”

“If you think you are an unnoticed person in a lost world with a lost cause, think again. I needed Moses and Aaron and I need every Rebecca I can find.”

“Take courage girl. Look beyond the difficulties of this life. See your name etched in My book. Rebecca of 2015, living My perfect will in the days fashioned for her. Love Me, listen and follow Me.”

“Thank You, Jesus!”

(Personal witness – One day, 30 odd years ago, I decided to change my life to work for Jesus. Then I saw Jesus looking at me but He was not smiling as I hoped He would. His face portrayed concern, even sadness. I was very upset but later realised that He was sad because He knew what I was going to endure in future. I did not understand it then. Today I do, He knows everything… He has never left my side for one second.)
