Don't you think it's awesome that God knows how many hairs are upon your head? Just think about it (unless you don't have any - LOL). It is awesome that God knows your beginning and your end. He knows the thoughts He has towards you; they are thought of good and not of evil to give you a hope, a future, and expected end. Hmmm...........an expected end??? When we "expect" something, we "look to" the occurrence or appearance of something. We as children of God should "look to" or expect good things to come to us and happen to us. God desires for our beginning to our end to be good. But there's something called "free will" - our ability to make a choice.
Our lives are full of choices 'Do I go to church this Sunday or not?' or 'Do I cook tonight or eat out?' Everything is a choice. In our beginning, we should make the choice to do good and follow God. For the Lord is our Sheppard, we shall not want..............He leads us in the paths of righteousness for His name sake. Not path but paths. More than one, plural paths. The path of being a good, whole, healthy person; the path of being a good friend; the path of being a good wife/husband mother/father; the path of a good career (good employer/employee).....you follow. When we make the choice in the beginning to do good or do things God's way, it will make our paths smooth toward our good ending.
Now we know that on the path to God's house there's a big bad devil that will use family, friends, situations and circumstances to influence us to take the wrong path in life. But we serve a God that is bigger and badder that the devil. Even if we should choose the wrong path, God can turn what the devil meant for our harm around for our good when we turn and repent! When we make mistakes and wonder 'How in the world did I get here?', remember God knows your beginning and your end. He knew that you were gonna make that choice even before you made it. God's knows where you are; He can see you. Might wonder why didn't say anything or try to stop you. Well were you listening or were you so wrapped up in what was going on around you? He will hear you when you cry out to Him, but take the time to listen for the answer to our cry/prayer. He has sent the Comforter, a helper, the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. God loves you, and desires that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Remember to choose godly and wisely for it shapes/determines the paths to your beginning and your end.
