It is interesting how certain things can rise to prominence in your mind at different times in life. Sometimes it is a simple as what to do with a spare moment or two and other times as complex as trying to grasp the meaning of life or the reason for children dieing of hunger half a world away.
At the current moment the importance of life and its calling for the follower of Christ is paramount in my mind. Questions such as what God's will for me, or what do I want to do with my life are more complex and daunting than anyone can even imagine. Just because there is a plan in place, does it make it the right one, or just the easiest? Where do we look for answers? Can we ever truly know definitively if we are moving in the right direction or even managing to tread water?
There must be an answer and I would argue that we should look to the Lord for guidance. Should we sit on our thumbs waiting for a response? No. I believe we should use the brain that we were given to discern our gifts, use them and do what makes us come alive. God has wired us to be passionate about certain things, and to excel at those things. Why would he do this if we were not meant to pursue those things. To do anything else would be telling the almighty that what he gave us was not good enough and that we have a better plan.
What do you think?
