Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! Ephesians 2:10 (TPT)

“Destiny is the personalized life calling God has purposed and equipped you to fulfill in order to bring Him the greatest glory and achieve the greatest growth of His kingdom.”

Jesus: “I see what you’ve done. Now see what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough. Revelation 3:8 (MSG)

It is the Lord who directs your life, for each step you take is ordained by God to bring you closer to your destiny. So much of your life, then, remains a mystery! Proverbs 20:24 (TPT)

1. REALIZE THAT GOD CHOOSES THE ______________________________

Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don’t see many of “the brightest and the best” among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we
have – right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start – comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That’s why we have the saying, “If you’re going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God.” 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (MSG)

God raised up David to be king, for God said of him, ‘I have found in David, son of Jesse, a man who always pursues my heart and will accomplish all that I have destined him to do.’ Acts 13:22 (TPT)

CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE GOD USES:
• Be ___________________ and ____________________

• Remain ___________________________________________

And if you cannot be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will give you something that will be your own? Luke 16:12 (CEV)

• Stay ______________________________________________

• Don’t let _____________ killers ___________ you

28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence
of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.” 29 And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?” 1 Samuel 17:28-29 (NKJV)

2. BE THANKFUL THAT YOUR DESTINY __________________________________________
