He has a Purpose

Psalm 138 English Standard Version (ESV)

Of David.

138 

I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
    before the gods I sing your praise;

2 

I bow down toward your holy temple
    and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
    for you have exalted above all things
    your name and your word.[a]

3 

On the day I called, you answered me;
    my strength of soul you increased.[b]

4 

All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
    for they have heard the words of your mouth,

5 

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
    for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 

For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
    but the haughty he knows from afar.

7 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
    you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
    and your right hand delivers me.

8 

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
    your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
    Do not forsake the work of your hands.

I wonder how long it will be before some of these words come to fruition?   It seems that our world is so far from recognizing God, that it almost seems impossible for them to turn around.  However, we know that God will make Himself known to all the world in such a way that they will all bow to Him.  So, we wait and we trust that He knows what He is doing.

Just a note to anyone who may think they are better than someone else; God, who is above all, acknowledges the lowly (regards them) yet those who think of themselves as “all it”, He keeps at a distance.  Note, however, He does not disregard them, but holds them at a distance.  Why do you think that is?  My thoughts are that the lowly depend on Him, call on Him, know that He is their strength whereas the haughty think they can do it all on their own and don’t put their trust and dependence in Him.  Someday, when Christ returns, those who remain haughty will come to the realization that they are now the lowly.  We need to pray for those who need the Lord yet refuse to acknowledge that they do.

Lastly today, we see that the Lord has a purpose for each and every one of us and He will fulfill it.  As we go through life we tend to think we have dreams that we need to fulfill but in actuality it is God who has given us our purpose, to proclaim Him, and we need to know and understand that He is going to fulfill those plans in us.  Just watch and trust Him as you seek Him with all your heart.

Seeking Him with all my heart,
