In our home it is my responsibility to
get our daughter ready for bed each night. Each night we brush our teeth, take
allergy medicine, put on our pajamas and then go into her room where we read a
book, pray, and then lay day for the night. One of my favorite parts of this routine
is the prayer time. She is now learning to pray so some nights she does it. But
when I get the opportunity to pray, I always try to include one portion in my
prayer … to tell God I cannot wait to see what He has planned for Alivia. I
know God has plans for each of us. And I want Alivia to grow up hearing those
words. I want that to be so routine in my nighttime prayers for her that as she
grows, she begins dreaming of all the ways God might use her.
You might look at your life, and think
to yourself, “what is it that God can use me for?” Maybe you do not think you
are worthy to be used by God. Maybe you think you have done too many wrongs to
now do any right. Those thoughts could not be further from the truth. In our
reading today we see God predict that he will use King Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon against Tyre and even Judah (Ezekiel 26:7). God predicted and did use a
pagan foreign king to bring punishment on His people.
I do not know what you have done,
where you have been, or the life you have lived. But I do know God has a plan
for you. Let Him work it in your life.
