The Purpose Step
“For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).
The context of Jeremiah 29:11 is a specific message from God to the Israelites during their captivity in Babylon. The words give us all hope that whatever we are experiencing if, under God’s will, He has a good plan and mission for us.
Your military service has prepared you to strategize and train for a mission, to carry out that mission, and to train others based on your experience. It is another big step from leader to student, but it doesn’t need to be a step backward as there’s a greater purpose to stride toward.
Your “new mission” steps on a college campus can be:
• You know what it is to be inspired to perform a worthy mission. Now inspire others to use their collegiate years to grow in maturity.
• You have an understanding and perspective of life and death that your civilian classmates do not have but need. Look for opportunities to tell your stories of God’s presence in your life.
• Your strength and courage to confront evil have been tested in training and duty, which translates to a rare paradox of confidence and humility. Now boldly serve on campus.
• You are a leader, something to which young people aspire. Share “leadership lessons learned” with ROTC cadets.
Proverbs 16:9 states: “In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.” May your soul find new purpose in your years on campus as you seek to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those to whom He gives you the privilege of influence.
Step out for His glory!
