Walking in God's Plan for Your Life
Have you ever felt like God was asking you to do something more with your life but you weren't sure how to see it happen? God created you on purpose for a purpose. He has a plan for your life that only you can carry out, and that should excite you! In today's episode of the Joie Miller Podcast, I'll talk about how you can discover and start walking in God's plan for your life!
Recognize that you have a contribution to make.
You have something no one else has… YOU! Ephesians 2:10 says that we are God’s masterpiece, set aside to do good works that he prepared for us. He created you with that work in mind! That means that there is a contribution only you can make to the world.
Inquire of the Lord
Don’t do it on your own! Ask God what he wants you to do. Most of the time, God has already given you a deposit or a seed of that idea. When you ask God, He’ll show you through the Holy Spirit what his plan is for your life. If you need help discovering your purpose, ask yourself: what breaks my heart? The answer is a clue as to why God put you on planet Earth! Nothing flows easier than when you are passionate about something.
Find out what you are naturally good at! There are certain things that you are good at particularly and naturally. What do people ask you about? What do people say you are killing it at? Ask a trusted friend or mentor what they see in you, too!
Just start walking in the plan. The Lord rejoices when the work starts!
Pray this: Father God, thank you for creating me for a purpose. Thank you for trusting me with it and help me to stay in perfect alignment with your will. As I follow these steps, make your will clear and give me the grace and strength to take the first step! In Jesus’ name, amen!
