Scripted

Hebrews 10:7 (KJV) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Your life was scripted by Almighty God from before you were born. God has His plans concerning you and these plans are good plans(Jeremiah 29:11). These plans can only find fruition when you are born again. Being born again started when you believed in the Lord Jesus, and would be perfected during the resurrection; when our bodies are changed according to the similitude of the new life we received.

When the Lord taught us to pray (Matthew 6:9-13), you will find that one of the strongest objectives of prayer is enforcing God’s will on the earth as it is [written] in heaven. When all is said and done, we will all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and our lives are going to be evaluated, not according to how we impressed our neighbors, but according to how we lived in alignment with God’s predetermined will.

One of the things the Holy Spirit does for us who believe is that he guides us into all truth and brings us into the consciousness of God’s will for us(John 16:13, 2 Corinthians 10-13, 1 John 2:20). He leads us to walk in God’s predetermined will, and our job is to follow.

Those who compare themselves with themselves are not walking wisely(see 2 Corinthians 10:12) because in doing so, they’ll have to neglect their script and try to live by someone else’s script. Many people have done things that God didn’t plan for them to do– things that ended up being a waste of time because they were comparing themselves with their neighbors, and thus following another man’s script.

Go into today knowing that your life here on earth has been scripted in heaven. Don’t forget that you’ll stand before the judgment seat of Christ and give an account of how you fulfilled this script(see 2 Corinthians 5:10).
