DESTINY OR CHOICE?

"All share a common destiny–the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them." Ecclesiastes 9:2

Many of us is asking is it our destiny?, or it was just my wrong decision? A question many of us are trying to figure out. Are we really meant for each other? Why we encounter bad things when we are doing good? I used to asked the same questions that are playing on your mind.

I just want to tell you that we cannot comprehend and grasp the wisdom of our Creator.

”And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.

We have one destiny to live in this world but the only choice is in us whether to follow Him or not. Every decisions we make are subject to many consequences.
Our choice is the most common factor that affects our lives because we believe in our own understanding. We believe that we can make it on our own. I don’t need anybody, but I want to tell you the truth that people need the LORD. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14. Tragedy happens to our lives country and family, but God is asking us to be humble and seek Him. What will be your actions will lead to your success or fall. In this verse try to meditate " We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall." - Proverbs 16:33.
Fate they say is uncontrollable things, but God allow things to happen even to His children. ”A person who has an easy life has no appreciation for misfortune. He thinks it is the fate of those who slip up." - Job 12 : 5


I just want you to remember the life of our beloved Job. Yes, he encountered the very worst of life nothing was left for him, even his true friends persecuted him asking him to repent for his sin. He allow bad things to happen in order for us to come to Him to remind us and to talk to Him. “Hey my son I will never leave you nor forsake you and I love you”, before the world began you are the only thing that matters to HIM.


One of my favorite great hero in the Bible is Joseph the dreamer who’s destiny is to become the governor of Egypt and made a choice to follow God’s will so that the fulfillment of God’s plan will come to a fulfillment.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Jeremiah 29:11 Remember this always my friend.
