Mon.'s Devo - Seek and You Will Find

Read Pr. 27:8
It is not natural for a bird to forget where his nest is and be lost. They have a natural God-given GPS built in their DNA. We also have a God-given GPS built into our DNA. You would think it would be hard to venture away from the plan so far that we are lost, but people do it often. What is hard is to lose your way when you are looking for it. God makes his ways easy for us to find. We are born with a destiny and we have been assigned to angels whose job is to see that we fulfill this destiny. God puts breadcrumbs all along our path to get us to go in the right way. He wants us to fulfill our destiny. He gave it to us. He said that if we seek him we will find him but it might take us seeking with all our hearts. He also said to seek first the kingdom of God then all the other things will be added. God has a big picture in his mind where we only see ourselves and our own pleasure. God doesn't care as much about our pleasure as he does his plan for us. If he has to deal out some unpleasantness, then he will, in order to get his plan manifested. Our light afflictions may hurt for the moment but they do a measurable amount of maturity in us. It is well worth the pain.
Lord, help us to be strong in our afflictions and ready to fight the enemy. Let us walk according to the plan you have drawn for us.
