You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed
Psalm 139:16 (NLT)
The Bible makes it clear in Psalm 139:14-16, that God has written all the days of your life in his Book, even before there was one of them. I like the way the Message translation says it, "In your books were written all the days of my life, before there was even one of them." In other words, before you spent one day on this earth, God had already written every single day of your life so that his plan can be fulfilled in our life, including your current work, vocation, studies or business.
One of the ways that you know you have been chosen by God to be a Diamond Believer, is the process that you go through especially at work or during your studies; many of those processes will come through events. However, by recognising the will of God for your life in your work and vocation, you are empowered to embrace His dealings and obey His instructions, pushing you toward your destiny fulfillment.
From personal experience, I started my A’levels expecting to study to Pharmacy in University, and then I developed an interest in video and decided to study Video production at University level. As at that time, there was no university that offered video production as a degree; so I studied Multimedia Computing with Video production. Therefore, I worked more in computing than video production. Now, I’m a leader running multiple non computing. Seems like a complicated route to get to a simple destination; however it was all part of the plan (God’s plan).
In Romans 12:2 the Bible says, "Don't copy the behavior and custom of this world, but let God transform you into a new person, by changing the way you think. By aligning your thinking to His, you will know God’s will for you, that which is good, pleasing and perfect."
Philippians 2:13 says, "For it is God who works in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure." Regardless of events you are facing right now especially at work, always know that none of them is coincidental, but a script, written by God for your life. Remember, you and I are here because God chose us to fulfill his purpose. One of the ways in which fulfills his purpose through us is the work and vocation that we are engaged in.
So, do the best that you can in your current work, vocation and business because you are truly doing it unto God.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.
Psalm 139:16 (MSG)
