What to Do?
You ever get the feeling that you're in a free fall that never ends? The "What am I going to do with my life?" question stares you in the face. You see all your friends eagerly pursuing their interests and wonder how come you can't have it all together too. You really want God's best for your life, but what is it? In my own struggles I've come to realize that I do know God's will for me. I might not know all the finer details, but I do His end goal, and He has shown me what I have to do to get there. Did you know that He's done the same for you? Check this out:
"But you, O man of God...pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness." 1 Timothy 6:11
"...Be an example to the believers..." 1 Timothy 4:12
"...Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
"...love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 12:31
"...desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby." 1 Peter 2:2
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works." Hebrew 10:24
Hey y'all, these are the basics for godly living! And they are only a sample of the hundreds found in Scripture! No matter where our paths take us, we're to still follow these. None of them are easy, but do you really want to made a difference in our world? More importantly, do you want to follow God? Well then, obey His Word!
Friends, I want to encourage you to try something. When you're reading the Bible, keep track of all of the verses with God's commands for you to follow. Then whenever you feel down and unsure of where to go and what to do, you can look at that list and know that this is God's will for you today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life! Aren't you glad what we serve a God who doesn't leave us hanging?
