My Place
What is my place in this world? Ever wonder that? I've spent the last few months trying to figure that out. Finding God's will can sometimes be time consuming and patience sucking, but this is what I've learned:
(1) God has a plan for my life
(2) God has me right where I'm supposed to be right now
(3) God's plan is better than my plan
(4) God created me for a purpose
(5) God's timing is never late
(6) God only wants me to worry about today
It is hard to seek God and most of the time I am trying to make things happen the way I want them to happen. The problem with that is we can't see what God sees. I know God is calling me to the ministry. But my definition of ministry may not be His. Therefore, I am open to whatever he calls me to. At His feet is where I am to be. Worrying, stressing, mulling, etc. all keep me from focusing. Focusing on Jesus will give me clear insight into the rest. His purpose for me is to worship Him. Wasn't that why we were all created? His actual will for my life? If He wants it, he will make the doors open and will give me the tools to walk through them. I may be confused about my place in this world, but at least I know God is positioned next to me on my journey.
