You don\u2019t get to decide<\/i> God\u2019s purpose for your life, you discover<\/i> it. How? Through prayer. God says, \u2018I know the plans I have for you.\u2019<\/i> (Jeremiah\u00a029:11\u00a0NLT) Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. You may be overwhelmed with problems, but God sees your potential. <\/p>\n
David\u2019s family didn\u2019t think he would amount to much. But where they saw a shepherd boy, God saw a king. Looking back, David wrote: \u2018You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are Your thoughts about me\u2026 I can\u2019t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, You are still with me!\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0139:16\u201318\u00a0NLT) <\/p>\n
You\u2019re unique\u2014and so is God\u2019s plan for you. It\u2019s encouraging to read stories and listen to great achievers and think, \u2018If they can do it, so can I!\u2019 However, the secret is to learn from others without trying to duplicate them. It\u2019s not enough to have a good idea; it must be the will of God. <\/p>\n
You don\u2019t get to decide what your vision will be; you discover it by seeking God for direction. And His Word says He will give it to you: \u2018Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, \u201cThis is the way, walk in it,\u201d whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.\u2019<\/i> (Isaiah\u00a030:21\u00a0NKJV) That way you know<\/i> it\u2019s \u2018from the mouth of the Lord.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
