BUT WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE? Right about now, you might be thinking, God has a plan for my life. Awesome! And He’s sent His Spirit to draw it out of my heart. Great. This all sounds good in theory, but I am about to pick a career and I need practical advice. What should I actually do with my life? That’s a great question. Romans 8 tells us that those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Children get the benefits of direction, protection, and provision from their parents. God is the perfect Father, and if you humble yourself by doing what seems impractical and maybe even a little scary—being led by His unseen Spirit you will see God’s power, favor, and direction manifest in your life. God, by His Spirit, will give you the peace that transcends all understanding, meaning it guides you when you lack knowledge, direction, or insight. This peace will help you navigate the toughest decisions life throws at you, including things like What job should I take? or Whom should I marry? or What should I get my degree in? Maybe youve already made some of these decisions and youre thinking, I definitely missed out on my calling, and that bus isnt making another stop in my life. The good news is that God is an expert at redeeming time. He can take years of waste and turn them into a springboard for purpose and promise. So humble yourself and give Him what you have. Invite His Spirit to govern your mind and direct your path. I promise you, it will be worth it! Today, I am doing things that I would have deemed impossible five years ago. God has stretched me way outside my comfort zone. The last five years have been a journey of trust and a lot of surprises. I can now say with a bit more confidence that I will do whatever God has for me. I have chosen to trust in God, taking comfort in this promise: The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT) God doesnt just care about the big details. He cares about every detail. And, truth be told, it is obedience to His direction in the small details that prepares and positions you for success in the big decisions. The decisions you make now create the landscape of your future. This means that the most important thing you can do to fulfill the destiny God placed inside you is learn to hear and obey His voice today.
