The Lord Has Assigned You a Life

17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. 19 For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. 20 Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called. 21 Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22 For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men. 24 So, brothers, in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.
1 Corinthians 7:17-24

The Lord Has Assigned You a Life
We were firmly in the death and destruction of our sin when the Lord found us. We have been robbed of everything, and unable to move, we need a Savior. This is easily forgotten. The devil would try to convince you that you pulled yourself out of the ditch. He would introduce doubt into the narrative and confuse your faith. But you have a God that has formed you in the womb and assigned to you a life in him. He has come and rescued you by his Word and granted forgiveness, life, and salvation. This is transformative for the life you live now. This changes the perspectives on the places you find yourself. The Lord is the one directing everything for you. Cast your worries to him and love as he has loved you.
