Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death….
When God has invested greatness in you, the challenges of
life will come against you. The foremost means by which God secures you is to “PRESERVE”
you until the appointed time. I see Preservation as the period in a person’s
life where God shields you from the overtness of your gift or calling. (Click here and tweet this). It is the silent yet
the most beneficial period in a person’s life. He does this to prevent the
early death of a vision, dream or a purpose.
When you lack understanding of God's plan for your life,
immaturity about issues at hand is the first by-product. (Click here and tweet this). As a result, many lose
the desire and tenacity to pursue the best that life brings. David was sent to the desert with the few
sheep though the youngest of Jesse’s children. Because he had been destined for something
greater, he was left in the desert as if no one cared. It was God’s decoy; a
way to preserve his life. God and the desert eventually became his teachers.
The skills he learnt from the desert became invaluable in his success as a
King.
The challenges of life are sometimes daunting and demanding.
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes question if God is truly with me.
(Click here and tweet this). The negatives
we encounter in life are not all meant to kill you I can emphatically say by
now. After being around a few years and walking with God, I see it sometimes as God’s own way of PRESERVING you. Sadly many of us give up even before the
preservation period ends. As a little boy, God took upon Himself to preserve
Jesus from harm’s way. He commanded them to take Jesus to Egypt until the death of Herod. At twelve years He challenged the teachers of
the law which was a premature launching of His ministry yet God used His parents
to PRESERVE him until he was ready to launch him out.
If you allow God to preserve you, you will certainly be
secured. On a personal basis, the preservation period I am experiencing has
afforded me the privilege of ministering to my talents, skills, abilities and
other areas of studies. I am quite careful not to waste so much time with the
dogs and swine of this life. God’s preservation is the best times for anyone
who believes in achieving their destiny. The whole purpose of preservation is
to create confidence in the Lord alone in order not to be
afraid of what is waiting for you outside. (Click here and tweet this).
Questions: What
does preservation mean to you? Have you experienced any period of preservation in
your life before? Have you questioned God Sometimes?
