People are always saying to me, “I know God has a plan for my life, but what is it?” Yeah, I find myself there. I have been prophesied over and heard people say what I was “called” to do, but still I had questions and what not. So where do we go for answers??? The Word of God, but as I really began to search through the Bible, I noticed something. There is not a lot of information about the will of God for our future. Don’t get me wrong, God does speak of our future and there are scriptures that can give us an idea of what his plan for our life looks likes. My favorite scripture in the Bible, “For I know the plans I have for you…..plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV) So, I have a future??? That’s good. But what about them plans??? So I’m studying this morning and I come across this scripture, Matthew 6:34 and Jesus says, “.., do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” If you go back to verse 25, Jesus is basically saying in a nutshell, don’t worry about where you will sleep, what you will eat, what you will wear because God is aware of what you need and he’s got you. All he is asking is for you to “Cast all your cares on him,” WHY??? “Because HE cares for you” (I Peter 5:7 NIV) So I guess that would include his plan for my life, or maybe his plan for my life is to simply trust that He’s got me. When I really think about it, my desire to know what the future holds is primarily based in fear. I want the security of knowing what the future brings rather than risk trusting God as the unfamiliar future unfolds. I want a light to shine to show the entire journey ahead so that I will know everything about the future and therefore be spared the difficulty of having to trust God. Maybe the simple will of God for my life is to simply rely on him.
