“Destiny it is not for us to control. We can only go as far as make choices,
but we need to surrender them into God’s plans.
He alone is sovereign over all the events of our lives.”
Let me tell you a story of a man named Harland, he is a man who is always wants to be in a hurry, his father died when he was 14, he dropped out of school and ran away from home, he had done so many odd jobs and at the age of 16 he lied about his age and joined the army. He saw that all these did not work for Him.
At 18 he got married, and within a few months his pregnant wife left him, then came the great depression.
Harland now realized that he was a looser, nothing he tried to do worked- from selling insurance, tires to driving a ferry boat but amidst his miseries Harland remained upright and honest- until one afternoon just when he was about to give-up on his life his wife and daughter came back to his life.
At age 65, Harland was a destitute old man, receiving his first social security check for $105 he decided to have a busines, remembering an old family recipe, he sarched for restaurants who is willing to buy and take in his recipe but he received no answers- one thousand and seven times.
Finally, the 1008th restaurant owner approached and agreed to his proposal, then came the birth a the famous fried chicken KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN a business that boomed to $2,000,000 nine years after Colonel Harland Sanders purchase.
Harland is destined for success if he had not been patient enough to wait till the 1008th restaurant owner if he had just given-up easily he would not have seen this great favor from God. as childrens of God we are designed for greatness and success but sometimes due to our impatient attitude we immediately quit and forgets waiting on the Lord, our destiny lies in God’s plan and not on our own plans.
God is preparing each and everyone of us amidst all our failures. once we just learn to wait on the Lord then and only then we can see His grace and faithfulness abounding in our lives as God promised us ” 8. Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.” ( Psalms 1:8 )
as God had called us to be His beloved we are also called and destined for greatness.
Be blessed as we remain in His goodness and grace….
