The Bible says that “many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” And here, all this time, I’ve been trying to figure out what I want - what he wants. I think that maybe he just wants a yes first (Thank you SuperSummer speaker). Revelation comes later. I mean, really - can I really be satisfied trying to do something outside of what God has called me to do? The simple answer is “no”. And why? Because it would contradict my design. Dolphins love to swim. Good thing, too…seeing as they are designed for it and not much else. And we don’t see them trying to walk around or attend classes at school. Why? It negates their design. Why, then, would I negate mine and try to find my own. There’s no satisfaction in it. I certainly don’t want to sound boring and communist. It’s not like God has destined all his children to sucky stuff. On the contrary (John 10:10). Abundant life is our destiny. The problem is that we seek abundant life on our own…and come up short. We get the “well ok” life.
