Determined
37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 1 Corinthians 15:37-39
At this time of year people start making resolutions to better themselves, kind of like a fresh new start. Typically 80% of the resolutions people make fail for many reasons, but mostly because they are either unachievable or we are not determined enough to continue on past the first few weeks. This section of scripture comes from an area where the resurrection of the body is discussed. God gave our spirits a body, as He determined. Can you imagine if God had not followed through with His plan, what kind of bodies we could have? You could have tentacles coming out of your head. In reality, God's plan is perfect, and He determined to give us a body that will be resurrected one day, we just need to be determined to take care of this body while we are on this earth. Take your vitamins, exercise, don't give the enemy an excuse to sneak in and steal your determination. Be still and know that as we enter this new year, 2020 will be a small blip in what God has determined for us.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
