Ephesians 1:11 “…According to the plan of Him Who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His Will…”

The push to be successful is powerful. We’re constantly being reminded to be goal-oriented, ambitious & always reaching for our dreams. That’s why Vision Boards are so popular…letting us visualize our aspirations, hopes & wishes. But what if I told you God isn’t the least bit interested in you reaching your goals. In fact, His objective may be that for the most part you may never reach that desired goal this side of heaven. That’s because with God, His purpose is the process, not the end goal. To Him, it’s of little importance if your goal is reached…but it’s of paramount importance in how you work through the process He’s placed before you. The plan & purpose for your life is divinely enabled by God’s Will and sovereign grace…with the process being the refining fire by which you come out as precious as gold. So in this process, what God only asks of you is obedience, dependence, & faithfulness to follow Him.
