Acts 17:26 illustrates the idea that God created all nations from a single person, and determined their historical epochs and geographical boundaries. One of my favorite aspects of God is how deliberate He is. His teachings reveal to me that I was wonderfully and intricately fashioned, designed for a unique role. I was created for this specific period in history, designated to be part of this generation, and purposed to have an impact in His honor.
The verse also illuminates the idea that He consciously selected my boundaries. I believe I’m not a resident of South Africa nor a dweller of Johannesburg by mere chance. He delineated my time and location before even the earth was formed.
If He’s so precise about my existence, why would He be elusive about my role in life? Today, I find comfort in knowing that He is marshaling all of heaven’s resources to guide me down the path specifically designed for me – not my sibling’s path, not my friend’s path, but my own.
Happy Monday!
