Divine Plan

I have been thinking recently about my life and what God is doing in my current life.

Much has happened since I really just sat down and meditated on God and His divine purpose for me. I have considered much; I have thought deeply. I am starting to feel a yearning. I am starting to feel a peace. For such a long time, I have been worried. I have a fear of failure. My college graduation is near, and I had some anxiety about my future. Where will I go? What will I do? I have wanted to go to law school for quite a while. After much prayer, I have felt the need not to apply for this fall semester. I rather feel the need to journey through patience. I have never taken time to listen. God is not this lonely old man sitting in the clouds kicking and screaming wanting us to listen to Him, but He does want us to response to His words. While many try to prove that God's divine plan is a farce, God will still prevail. People have tried to prove God is fake and strike Christianity as a lie. Interestingly enough after all of those who have tried to counteract my faith have passed from this world, God is still here.

I feel God is leading me towards His plan in this way:

1. I need to lay down my idols. An idol is anything I love more than God. Idols are not necessary living things. Idols can be concrete things like work, school, relationships, pride, golf, camping, hanging out with friends, control over everything, and comfort.
2. To find a temporary job before law school that utilizes serving someone besides myself.
3. Love those that are less desirable.
4. Strike out disobeidance.
5. Habitually study scripture.

God's plan may not be exactly like that. Likely, much more will I have to improve on. But I know I have to change these listed things. God is sovereign and in control. Nothing catches Him off-guard. I pray for patience to receive His divine purpose.
