“_____’s” Theme
Do you feel like there’s got to be more to life … as if there’s an emptiness or a kind of hunger that can’t be satisfied? I’ve spoken of this before, but the Lord’s given me fresh insight to this quandary. Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.” We have been created by God for such good things. He has given each of us a life theme, a plan and purpose suited specifically for us. None other has the gifts or talents to accomplish your theme. That emptiness or hunger is your unsung theme. But, there’s a foe out to make sure you never realize your theme and that foe is Satan. He’s working overtime with numerous schemes to ensure you never get to see the life theme God's prepared for you. He skulks around laying traps to keep you preoccupied. His schemes are designed to waylay and create misdirection. The way to avoid Satan's schemes is to be planted firmly in the Lord’s hand and cover yourself with His strength. Ephesians 6: 10-11, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Satan does not come straight at you. He operates subtly and in shadow. He wants you to think that what you’re about to do is not harmful at all. It was no different when he coaxed Eve into eating from the forbidden tree in the garden. His lies are dipped in a light coating of truth so that you’ll take a bite. God has made you for a purpose and blessing comes with said purpose. Don’t let Satan steal what God has intended for you. Fill in the blank with your name for only you can sing your theme.
