Taking the Next Step
We have not stopped praying for you since the first day we heard about you. In fact, we always pray that God will show you everything he wants you to do and that you may have all the wisdom and understanding his Spirit gives.
Colossians 1:9 (CEV)
Should I go to college? How will I find a spouse? Where will I live? What is God’s will for my life?
As graduation day gets closer, these questions loom heavier. Making decisions and trying to please God can seem mysterious and daunting.
But God’s not hiding. He’s not toying with you, sending you on some rough journey to guess at what he might want. No, he promises to show you the way.
Here’s the thing: we must be open to God’s leading. In order to know God’s will, we need to know God.
The first step in knowing him has already been laid out for us: his first command is to love him. If we love him, we are following him and submitting to his will. Other ways you can get to know God are through prayer, reading his Word, and the wise advice from other godly people, like teachers, pastors, and your parents.
Right now, a lot of your life decisions are out of your hands. But that just means you are in pre-season training. You are learning the drills of trusting in his plans, of being content with where he has you, and of growing that relationship with him so you will be confident in making decisions with the Spirit’s leading.
