“What does God want me to do with my life?” or “What is God’s will for me?”
Being young, I hear these questions often and have even wondered them myself. I have found a way that YOU and I can discover exactly what God wants to do with our unique life.
Here is a way to find THE ANSWER for YOU…
Open your bible. Read it. God has spoken. He has not left us to wonder, but has given very clear instruction on what he wants you to do. God wants you and me and every Saint to do the same thing. He is not silent; he still speaks forth with every page of scripture. Here are just a few:
*Make Disciples and teach other people to obey God. (Matt. 28)
*Give reason for the Hope you have in Jesus to those who don't have such hope. (1Pt 3:15)
*Live in transparent community (Hebrews 3:13)
*Look after those less fortunate than you...the least of people. (Matt 25)
*Outdo one another showing honor to each other. (Romans 12:10)
*Rejoice always or always be joy filled (Phil. 4:4)
· *And on and on…
-His will for you, for President Bush, Brittney Spears, me and everyone else is this -Be reconciled to Him and help others to the same- or in other words “Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love you neighbor as yourself.”
It is out right stupid to ask for God’s “special will” for your life if you are not listening and currently doing His already “already revealed will” for your life. He has already spoken clearly saying "here is what I want you to do with your life...No matter where you are or where you go or what job your paying bills with DO THESE THINGS”. Why would God give someone more things to do with his life, if they are not right now doing the things he has told them to do?
Once you are doing what he has told you to do… you can do whatever you want. Like Augustine said “Love God and Live as you please”. In the end everything else is tent making…
