Session 3 - Email

Timing is everything as the saying goes and you are in your "prime" because it is God's time for you! "You are in your Prime!" Feels good to hear that doesn't it?

How many of us might be traversing through a season of life that certainly doesn't seem like our prime right now? We might be facing illness, loss of a spouse, challenges at work, financial issues, relationship struggles and basically feeling overwhelmed with all the pressures of life in general. These "times" certainly feel anything but prime to us. But, I love the "bird dog" illustration of Beanie, Beth's dog, where her husband would have to physcially lift up Beanie and physically turn her in the opposite direction after she would become "on point" on a squirrel they would encounter on their walk. It will often be by a crisis that God uses to "pivot" our direction. There is always human dilemma in destiny as we see in Queen Esther's life this week in homework.

We can trust in our God's providence in our "dilemma's" no matter what the circumstance or situation we might be facing. The following verses give us a little insight into His providence.

Phil 2:13 - For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Eph 1:11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

And, I love His promises to us when we face those delimma's in destiny!

Deut 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you!" Amen to that one!!!

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him!

Don't be discouraged if you haven't been able to attend the last couple of sessions! Keep at it! Do what you can - God will bless your time with Him! Ask for a fresh new revelation that will change and transform you into a more brilliant reflection of Jesus Christ! You and I precious diamonds - diamonds in the rough - but diamonds nevertheless!

Who Knows? I pray that each of us would know that the Lord is our God during every season of life. Isaiah 43:10 "You, are my witnesses, says the Lord. And my servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed nor shall there be after Me.
