Psalm 138:6
The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. (NLT)

Finish what you started in me, GOD.
Your love is eternal—don’t quit on me now.
(The Message)

This is a season of transitions. Loved ones have passed away. Friends are moving from one place to another, from one job to another, from full employment to retirement.

On our walk yesterday morning, we passed some homes for sale we enjoyed watching as they were built. They are nice homes in a good location. “What if?” we wondered. We wandered closer and took a photo of the real estate agent’s sign.

The homes are nicer, or at least pricier, than we anticipated. If we sell our house for maximum value and apply the proceeds to the purchase of one of these houses, we will still owe a million dollars.

This is one transition we will not make.

Life is full of change. Some of these changes are easy to anticipate. Others are unexpected. Some we plan and prepare ourselves for.

The good news is God has a purpose and a plan for our lives. As long as we live, he is working in us and working through us. He molds, shapes, restores, and renews our lives all the days of our lives.

Where is he at work in your life today?

King David in this psalm and the Apostle Paul in his most joyful letter share a confident assertion. You see David’s words above. Here are Paul’s words:

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Whatever turning point you are currently experiencing, know that our Father in Heaven has his hand on you. His purpose and his plans for you are full of goodness and grace, mercy and compassion, strength and direction. He is still working on you and me to make us what he wants us to be.

—

I will walk with God through all the transitions of life as God works out his purpose and plans for me.

Our Father, thank you for guiding this journey. Thank you for working out your purpose for my life. Thank you for not stopping or abandoning me. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Deuteronomy 30:19, 20 “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 29:29

Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
