Life is full of questions. Yes? Such as
“who do you want to be?” and “what do you want to do in life?”
If you’re having trouble answering those
questions, then welcome aboard the ship (you may call me Captain).
There are SO many options, millions (ish)
of topics that we could study, and thousands of different jobs we could take
up. But which one?
A few months ago, my heart would’ve started
racing and my mind would’ve started spinning and going into an overdrive.
Panic, basically. Panicking that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my
life!
Then I found the Truth.
The truth is this simple: giving your life
solely to God is all that matters. You and I are both made for a unique
purpose. Jesus’s command was to love each other (John 15:17), so if we
beginning by learning more about Him and the word of God and doing everything
out of love, then that’s a great start right there.
“Commit
to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” (Proverbs 16:3)
That’s what really matters, see?
It’s really ok to have no idea what you
want to do. In fact, now is the perfect time to give God the reins of your life
and let him steer you.
In Proverbs 16:9 it says “In his heart a man plans his course, but
the LORD determines his steps.”
I can truthfully say that I’m excited to
wake up every morning knowing that I’m on an adventure with God.
Adventure.
That’s the way we should look at life. As
an adventure with Him! It’s better to be right beside Him than anywhere else in
this world, or the next. Psalm 84:10 says it exactly:
“Better
is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.”
That’s what we’re striving for, right? To
be with Him.
God’s listening, watching, right now as you
read this. I bet he’s absolutely full of joy and excitement that he wants to
share with you about your future. So trust him, and lean into the Truth.
He’s calling you by name – and it says that
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared
for those who love him”. So dare to love him.
And when he asks you to do something? JUST
SAY YES. It’s simple, and so rewarding. In my life it’s happened over and over,
when God asks me to do something and I DO IT, the reward is amazing (better
than a whole block of chocolate. No, seriously, it is.)
“Then
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for
us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)
Together, let’s be the kind of people that
jump off the chairs for the Lord. Let’s be the people that shout “PICK ME!!!!”
at the top of our lungs (if you know me well, then you can definitely imagine
me doing this). Let’s not even worry about our future, okay?
Amen.
