Direction Determines Destination

As I sit here at the good ole age of 21 I am wondering what to do with my life, and where to go next. It's a crazy thing, just like I talked about in the blog about the future. It's a tough decision though on what to do for the rest of your life!!!! It's a decision that I have had the hardest time trying to make too.

As Christian's we are called to follow God's will for us, and when He fills us in on what His will is we are to run as fast as we can to fulfill it. Because if we don't start going for what God's will is for us, then we won't set ourselves up to end up at the destination in life that He has for us. Hints the blog name, Direction Determines Destination ;)

Let me break this down for you some more.

Direction: We have to be preparing ourselves now for what direction God wants to send us in. In that preparation we must be patient, praying, listening, willing, and making sure you're seeking after God's own heart. We have to be patient because who knows what God's timing is gonna be on letting you in on His will for you, but while being patient still be active in your church and community, trying to change the world for God. Pray that God is keeping your eyes, ears, and heart open to what He is telling you, and that you continuously have a willing heart to do His will. Listen to what the Lord is telling you. Again make sure that you stay willing while you are waiting for the Lord to show His will to you. Last but not least make sure you are seeking after God's own heart. Obviously you already will be seeking after His heart by wanting to know His will for you, but make sure you don't lose that enthusiasm about it. Keep seeking after God's heart and God's desires for you, don't lose the passion and drive for this.

We as Christian's need to remember all of that and be doing that to set ourselves up for the correct direction we are called to go in for Christ. If you are wanting to know God's will for you so that you can do what He asks of you, don't lose sight of that if it takes a while for Him to show His will to you. If you lose sight of it and don't practice the things I was just talking about then you may end up going in the wrong direction, leading you to the wrong destination from what God had set out for you.

The destination that God has for us will be amazing and awesome. It will be more than we ever dreamed of, or could have asked for. We just have to stay faithful in the Lord while we are waiting so that we come to the destination God has for us. And then remember that when we get to one destination there will be something us God has waiting for us, and has another destination in our life to go to.

I know it can be really tough to do this and stay persistent with waiting for God to reveal His will and perfect plan to you, but it's something that you have to do so that we can end up where God wants us, and so that we can be the most effective in changing the world for the Lord. I pray that all of you reading this will seek God's plans for your life, and will be patient and prayerful in waiting for Him to reveal the plans to you.

Changed people, Change the world.
