King David Said:
The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein
-Psalms 24:1
I just want to give a brief synopsis of why King David was a man after God's own heart . . . it was because David understood what it meant to live a surrendered life, according to God's purpose and God's vision. He understood that this whole thing was a spiritual walk. David just had a correct understanding of how God worked!
I just love the way God works. . . I love him. He is just so awesome.
I have a feeling that society would ask, "How could you possibly know anything about who God is or how he works?"
To which I would reply: "Well, I talk to him everyday and I listen attentively because he knows everything."
I would also explain that I don't know everything that he is planning, or why he does things the way that he does, or why he reveals the things that he reveals, but I know it all turns out amazingly. I love him because he is awesome.
The message that I am supposed to share is that you are all apart of his plan. I know this because he told me. The enemy tries to fool the whole world and tries to make man think that he is an accident. Scientist try to convince us that we have evolved from monkeys. Also there is another claim that we came from nothing. New findings proclaim that we are star dust . . . these are all lies.
How can something come from nothing?
The world wants to make you laugh! We come from God, of course!! Believe it or not!
We are special and specifically created with a pre-written design (DNA). We have a creator. The creator is our designer (GOD). We are spiritual beings, who have been presented with a body, made from the earth. We have been filled with the breath of God that has given us a life to live. We therefore are a spirit, in-cased in a soul, in-cased in a body. Our spirit is from God, our soul is our life (mind, will, emotions), and our body is our flesh that comes from the dark earth (Adam).
When David says: "Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my soul." he is saying "Unto thee, oh Lord, I give my life" or "Unto thee, oh Lord to I give my mind, my will, and my emotions." Hence, David is a perfect example of living a surrendered life.
I encourage you to give your life to God, and live a surrendered life like David.
After God designed us, he created a math equation to place us on a time line. We are born at the time that he needs us to be born in order to complete our purpose. It is like the most complicated math problem that we don't have the mind capacity to comprehend . . but it all turns out amazingly!
Man is not an accident!
The fact that your father makes over 4 trillion sperm and your mother about 100,000 eggs in her life time then also calculating the chances that the right sperm match up to the correct egg at the right time is 1 in 400 quadrillian.
That is 1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000
In layman's terms, you are a miracle!
The reason why you are a miracle is because the world has no way else to explain it. However, if you know the Lord you know that he designed it that way. Everything belongs to God. Everything that he made was for a purpose. Why? Because God doesn't make accidents or mistakes. God's ways are miracle ways. This is how he works. He works in miracles!
God's nature is to create and to create for a purpose.
The very reason why you were born is to do or complete something that the Lord needs you to do in order to bring his kingdom to come. This is the truth, rather you believe it or not.
God loves each and everyone of his creations. Everything and everyone belongs to him. The earth is his and everything in it. The world and everyone that dwells in it belongs to him.
So even if you are a "non-believer" God loves you. If you are a non-believer- you are still a spiritual being. If you are a non-believer you still have a purpose. If you are a non believer then you are just being tricked by the deceiver. I pray that you change your mind about who you are. I pray that you change your mind about who God is and about who Jesus is.
Jesus is God's spirit in a human body.
Understand that God had to get a human body in order to operate legally here on earth.
Therefore Jesus is God and God is Jesus
But that is another study . . .
The main thing I want to convey is that this whole life is a spiritual thing. God has a purpose and a plan for you. God's plan is going to happen if you believe it or not. Hence, hold on to the vision that God has for you. Trust in it and follow after it. God gave you those desires and he wishes to fulfill them.
I have been enjoying this book that I'm reading called "Visioneering" by Andy Stanley. I will share some of it from the bible application called Youversion. This app has a selection of these wonderful devotionals that you can read for your personal growth. Check it out when you can . . .

“It’s All Spiritual”
As I mentioned back on Day 1, any God-ordained vision will have its roots in God’s overarching vision for this world. Yet some people think their vision has no such spiritual significance
For example, somebody might say, “I’m not hoping to start a church or ministry or anything like that. I’m trying to get a business off the ground. What does that have to do with ‘God’s overarching vision for the world’?”
If you have a similar question in mind, think about this for a moment: God does not compartmentalize our lives.
From God’s perspective, there are no spiritual versus nonspiritual components of your life. He makes no distinction. There is no secular division of your life. You are a spiritual being. Therefore, everything you are involved in has spiritual overtones. He sees you holistically.
The Christians in the city of Corinth believed there was a division between the soul and the body. They thought they could sin with their bodies and it would have no impact on their souls. Paul pointed out that no such division existed. He told them that they were to glorify God with their bodies.
When Christ purchased you at Calvary, he purchased all of you: body, soul, and spirit. There is no division. You are to glorify God through your actions, regardless of where they take place and what role you are in at the time. You are to glorify God as a spouse, parent, friend, employee, boss, and citizen. What you do at the office, then, is no more or less spiritual than what you do at church or at home.
Consequently, there is a spiritual element to your vision regardless of which category of life it emanates from. There are no secular pursuits. Your vision does not exist apart from your responsibility to glorify God. The challenge is to discover the link.
Spend some time pondering this question: How can my heavenly Father be glorified through my vision?
