"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
It's always comforting to know that the God of the Universe has a specific plan for your life. One that will not only glorify him, but one that is also tucked in perfectly with His plan for the rest of the world. More often than not, we are so worried that because we don't know what the future holds, that God doesn't either. We are so antsy and quick to jump to the conclusion that if it hasn't been revealed to us, than He must not know the plan either.
Do we ever stop to consider that we may not be ready to hear the plan? Have we ever stopped so long to understand that God has us in this season and place he has us in, so that He can equip and grow us until the plan of our lives can be revealed?
Our human nature is to run as quick as we can from the dry season we may be in, but God tells us that He instead wants us to run to Him to see what He wants to reveal to us in the desert. Don't look at your past, don't focus on your future, but focus on today. God is working things in you and equipping you today so that you can be ready for His plan tomorrow. The great thing about our God is that He doesn't want to keep you from discovering His will for your life. Watch what He has already entrusted you with, and wait for Him to reveal to you how it will be used in your future.
Remember that the timing of the call is just as important as the call itself---when it is time for us to know, we will. When God shows you His plan, trust that you also have been equipped with what you need to know for now. He will always give you more when the time is right. He is Jehovah Elohim--the God who can create something out of nothing!
"The vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay." Habakkuk 2:3
