Set Up for Success by God

Set Up for Success by God: 7 Principles to Move Forward

In the Passion Translation, Ephesians 1:11 says, “…Before we were even born, He gave us our destiny; that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in his heart.” This powerful scripture reminds us that our destiny to fulfill God’s purposes on earth has already been set up for us. God chose us and sets us up for success.

The real challenge is believing this truth and continuing to move forward despite the obstacles. Recently, a dear friend of mine found herself in the hospital just days before a book signing. She was told she needed to stay there, but she saw this as an obstacle. With prayer, faith, and a wise strategy, she worked with her doctor to find an alternative approach and made it to her book signing. This story illustrates the power of faith and strategic action in overcoming obstacles.
