Before the First Star

Lyrics

You didn't just appear on this earth...you were sent. Long before you ever took a breath, God already knew your name, your purpose and your assignment. You're not random. You're not accidental. You're not here by chance. You're here because He chose you before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4 says, ''He chose us before the foundation of the world.'' That means your calling is older than creation. Your destiny was written before the first star was lit in the universe. Before your parents met...Before your story began...Before you took your first breath, God already said, ''This one is mine." But understand this, the enemy will try to fight you every step of the way. He will try to make you question your calling. He will whisper lies that make you feel unworthy. He will try to fill your mind with confusion, discouragement and doubt. The enemy wants you to focus on your weaknesses, instead of God's strength, your past instead of God's promises, and your limitations instead of what God can do through you. When God calls you forward, the enemy may try to pull you backward. When God reminds you of your identity, the enemy will try to make you forget who you are. When God tells you that you are chosen, the enemy will try to convince you that you are forgotten. But do not mistake the battle for abandonment. You are not fighting alone. Jesus promised in John 14:26 that the Holy Spirit would be sent to teach us and remind us of His words. When your mind feels overwhelmed, the Holy Spirit helps you remember God's truth. When you feel weak, He strengthens you. When you feel confused, He guides you into truth. When you begin to doubt your worth, He reminds you of what God has spoken. Romans 8:26 says that The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. Hebrews 13:5 says, He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are never alone. You are never without His guidance and protection. God's angels are all around you, ministering to His purposes, keeping you safe, giving you peace, and helping you every step of the way. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says, Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. God places people in our lives who encourage us, strengthen our faith, walk with us, and work with us in purpose. God not only has our best interests, our goodness and our happiness, He guides us into relationships that align with His calling, not our convenience. So hear this today. You are called. You are chosen. You are known. You are appointed. Your life is unfolding exactly on the timeline God wrote for you before the world began. Walk boldly. Walk confidently, walk like someone who was chosen before time itself existed. If this speaks to your spirit, type AMEN.
