In Advance

Mark Batterson post:  Sense of Destiny

One of my favorite verses, top 10 at least, is Ephesians 2:10. In fact, my next book will really revolve around that verse. Here it is: "We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works prepared for us in advance."

I love that phrase: in advance. What an awesome thought. God is already in your future. He is setting you up. He is preparing the way.

The word "prepare" comes from the oriental custom of servants going before kings to insure safe passage. The King of Kings turns the tables. He goes before His servants to prepare the road ahead. I hope that gives you a sense of destiny for 2010. We ought to walk into the New Year with holy anticipation.
