Empty handed, as the stagnant ringing of an unmapped future
flows through the subconsciousness of my mind, like a rehearsal that never ends. Stuck in indecision and casting out your line for help, but the trend of answers keeps turning up empty. Clenching when advocated the question What are you going to do with your future? because you dont know and it appears that everyone else has it figured out. Blindfolded and forced to choose a path is impossible when the blur of darkness consumes your sight and you cant view where the path begins. Does this sound familiar? In a world where busy and success is inseparable, it is difficult to simply stand still and breathe. Life is busy between keeping up with errands, household chores, working, socializing, paying bills, taking care of your pets, feeding your children and getting your assignments done. There isnt enough time in the day! (Can I hear an Amen?) Have you ever wondered what Gods plan for your life is and if the life you have right now is his plan or yours? Do you wish that God could tell you what he wants you to do? I do and I cant be the only one! Therefore, how do you know what Gods plan for your life is? 1. PRAYER
We cannot pass Go without
prayer. A vehicle is useless without a key to start it. We cant take just any key and try to insert it in the ignition, it simply wont start (Duh...). We may try numerous different Keys to supersede that void such as love, a busy schedule, friend, alcohol the list goes on. Nevertheless, nothing will work except for the key that is made for that unique car. The key in the ignition communicates with the vehicle for it to recognize that vehicle is ready to move. God has intended to fit into the unique plan he has arranged for our lives, but unless we put him into our ignition, we arent going to move. Suchlike, the key to the ignition, without communication God is incapable to move in our lives. He desires for us to communicate with him and thus be moved by God. God engineered us to be social creatures. In my opinion, I find that I can converse with God with more ease than I can with most people and he listens and hears US! Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12 The God of the UNIVERSE is compassionate about OUR every necessity and he languishes to hear the utter of our voice Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1Peter 5:7
2. FIND YOUR STRENGTHS AND PASSIONS
What are you passionate about?! What sets your heart ablaze and evokes you to emerge every morning? What could you do continually and never undergo discontent? What are your talents? If you had a response to any of those questions, here is a proclamation. Who do you suppose supplied those passions and talents? GOD DID! God knew us before we were born and formed in our mothers womb. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mothers womb. Psalm 139:13 Therefore, develop the talents that God has given you! Pray for God to assist you in those God-given talents for his glory and dont give up! If God is in it, there is nothing more that we require. If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV Those of you who dont know what your talents and passions are and havent found what sets your heart on ablaze. Explore! Endeavor inexperienced things! Pray that God will instill a passion in your life, something that electrifies your steps and channel sprightliness into your eyes. We gravitate in occasions of our life to step back from confiding and spending time with God because of reasons such as, work, busy schedule, laziness or simply having a lot going on. Yet, if we yearn for something, then we have to alter our schedules in order to meet that necessity. The Farmer In Proverbs, the Bible speaks about a farmer and in order for the farmer to distribute his crop in the fall, he must precondition his crops in the spring. He must take the time to implant the effort of preparing his crop to get the outcome he desires. This is the same aspect in our walk with Christ. If we thirst for God to embark on our life to produce a harvest of blessings and a deeper relationship with God then we have to exert an effort beforehand. If we dont pursue our relationship with Christ, then we cant expect God to move in our life. Talents and passions are developed, so start at once! Get into Gods word and talk to him! Ask God to give you an unflinching heart to chase after what he has called you to do and help you discover your passions! A farmer too lazy to plant in the spring and has nothing to harvest in the fall. Proverbs 20:4
KNOW WHAT THE
BIBLE SAYS We are going to be incompetent to pursue Gods calling to its full potential if we arent able to distinguish what Scripture conveys! In order to share the Gospel, it is essential that we are to be able to discourse about it Satan greatest weapon is ignorance to Gods word- H.S We need to get into Gods word every day, it is vital, we need to pursue God like we never have before! I have never heard someone express that they regretted reading their Bible and pursuing God. It just doesnt happen! Incorporate time to read Gods word. We must fight on our knees in prayer! We live in a spiritual battle and we cant fight if we arent preparing our sword. (Ephesians 6:17) Dont say that God has been silent when your Bible has been closed Nay Crumors
