Following the Gold Lining

Following the Gold Lining

“But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them, ‘Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!'” -Acts 5:19, 20

There are places where we walk that we know are God-ordained. For me, whenever I see a rainbow I know God is highlighting my path, and I am walking in the right direction. You might call this “the gold lining” – like the silver lining – just ordained by God’s grace.

Though life takes us on many journeys and along many different roads- there should be one commonality for the life of the Christian: the gold lining. Divine appointments, favor, whatever you want to call it, we need to be able to wake up and invite God’s purposes into our day. We need to ask Him, “God, where do you want me to go today?” or “God, who could I encourage today?” This simple act brings so much purpose into our lives.

We don’t find the gold lining just by living our lives or by choosing Christ and then becoming dormant – we intentionally choose to be open to it every single day.

Are you looking for God’s gold lining in your life today?
