Now What?

Have you ever completed a set goal in life and then discovered that the fulfillment only triggers the statement, “Now what”?

Researchers often make new discoveries, only to find themselves at a perpetual revelation of “now what”.

The pursuit of next, the pursuit of why and how, still leads everyone back to the crossroads of “now what”. All roads return to the intersection of now and what.

Who or (WHO) has the answer?

Only OMNISCIENCE can satisfy this query. (Isaiah 46:9-10)

In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the Earth. HE created the cosmos and every living thing on the earth. On the seventh day, HE rested. Does this mean that HE was out of ideas? Does this mean that HE had met HIS capacity to create? Absolutely not. HE has no end.   (Isaiah 40:28)

HE simply puts a stamp of “finished” on things that have met HIS standard of being fully equipped for HIS purpose.

Finished Creations

Everything that GOD created, HE only created once. Within each creation was a “finished” product.

For example, a watermelon seed can reproduce its kind. GOD equipped the watermelon with what was needed for it to be fruitful. What was required to be effective. The success of the watermelon is nested within itself.

However, a seed can only manifest its fullest potential by utilizing other finished products that must also be active (soil, water, climate, time). Finished products rely on other finished products.

What about You?

We, as HIS creation, are no different. You are a finished product of GOD, designed to nourish other finished products of GOD.  We need each other. Hence, the cycle of “now what”.

For this reason, the enemy utilizes division to keep “finished products” separated. On account of the alignment of unity can show forth the purpose of GOD. Unfortunately, most humanity settles on the sole pursuit of self. Nevertheless, your purpose doesn’t exist outside of HIM.

The statement that you are a finished product may seem like an oxymoron, especially when life appears incomplete and disjointed. This is why intimacy with GOD is necessary to fulfill HIS purpose for your life. What HE ordained for you to accomplish in life is possible because you were born as a finished product.

You can hang around your average daycare center and see finished creations of GOD.  It’s a beautiful sight because culture and worldly influences have not had the chance to lure their thinking from the realm of possibilities. (Philippians 4:13)

Therefore, JESUS tells us to approach HIM as little children. It’s the closest timeframe to which you were familiar with your dreams without inhibitions.

Life has a way of distracting us from our potential, and although you may not feel like a finished product, doesn’t mean that you’re not.  Your life is hidden in the life of CHRIST (Colossians 3:3).

Your purpose is to live a life of self-discovery of the finished “you” that GOD knows.

GOD created you. GOD knows you. GOD loves you. Now what?

It’s worth repeating, only OMNISCIENCE can answer that.
