~Defining Moments~ ... Events that can Change Your Life!

Each of us have had defining moments in our lives. Some of these defining moments have been enlightening, exciting, mysterious and life changing.

For Moses, it was the burning bush.

For Peter, it was walking on water.

For Paul, it was being blinded and spoken to by Jesus on the Damascus road.

For Shadrach, Messach, and Abednego, it was walking through the burning furnace untouched.

For Daniel, it was deliverance for the lion's den

For Joshua, it was parting the Jordan river and crossing into the Promise Land.

Listen, there have been many defining moments in the lives of human beings that changed their lives forever.

We could go on and on. Each of these men of God had years of preparation leading up to their defining moments. These moments forced these men of God to be involved in something beyond their human experiences. It took them outside their own understanding. God had to move them outside their own boxes. And when He did, their lives were forever changed and never the same.

You may be in one of three stages of life. You may not had your "defining moment" yet - God maybe preparing you with many important life experiences. You may have had your defining moment and you are living out your calling. Or, you may be toward the end of your journey and you may have already experienced what I'm speaking of. We are all called to a relationship with God; and we are called vocationally. ( That means to work). Which is often ushered in by a defining moment. And there can be more than one defining moment, each pointing you down a path that God has predestined from the foundation of the world. Believe it or not,  God knew who you were even before your father and mother ever consummated their relationship.

The secret of a great life is often a man's or woman's ability to discern the defining moments give to him or her. Understanding them, and learning to walk in the paths that leads him or her to his or her ultimate destination.

Once you have had a defining moment, you are different and will never be the same. Pray that  you have eyes to see and ears to hear when The Spirit of God brings a defining moment into your life.
