Let me ask you a question: What did God put you here to do? If you're like most people, you've probably asked yourself this question a thousand times. Or perhaps you've thought about your future, uncertain of your goals, and not sure when to take your next step. But even if you don't have a clear plan for the next step of your life, you can trust that God does.
God has a plan for all of us, and He know that plan as thoroughly and completely as He knows you. If you seek God's will earnestly and prayerfully, He'll make His plans known to you in His own time and His own way.
Maybe your vision of God's purpose for your life has been clouded by a wish list that you've expected God to magically fulfill. Or maybe you thought that God would create a world for you that unfolds according to your wishes. If so, you've experienced more disappointments than satisfaction and more frustration than peace. A better strategy would be to conform your will to God's.
Sometime, God's plans and purpose may seem unmistakably clear to you. If so, push ahead. But other times, He may lead you through the wilderness before He directs you to the Promised Land. So be patient and keep seeking His will for your life. When you do, you'll be amazed at the marvelous things that an all-powerful, all-knowing God can do.
"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels - everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him" (Colossians 1:16, MSG).
