Jesus told him, “Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luk 9:62(TLB)
God has a work for you to do before you leave this earth. If you allow yourself to be distracted from God's purpose for your life, you are not fit for God's kingdom. The question is, how do I know Gods purpose for my life?
You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book! Ps 139:16
God has a schedule for each day of our lives.
It's good to think first of all, "if I was given a chance to plan for my life, if I get to know in advance the events in the future that would happen that would affect my life, do you think I could make a better plan than that which God has for me? Of course not. God's plan for my life is the best plan concerning me. If this is true, then my passion in life should to find out what this plan is and fulfil it.
In the wilderness, God knew every road that the Israelites would follow to reach Canaan's land but He never gave them a map. Instead, they were led by a cloud and pillar of fire.
The Lord was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. Ex 13:21.
This is a picture of a person who gets born again and comes out of Egypt, slavery of sin, but being born again is not the final destination. He has to be tested as He walks through life till He reaches rest that God has promised.
Every morning, they must follow the cloud, in the same way, the cloud being a picture of the Holy Spirit, He must guide us all through life. We must be led by the promptings of the Holy Spirit in this life.
The most important thing in this Christian life is to be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit and to keep our ears open to His voice day and night and to always obey His promptings.
For this we must always be careful to always maintain a clear conscience and to always humble ourselves for God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6, 1Tim 1:18-19
If you are willing to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, and if you seek fellowship with Him, 2Cor 13:13-14
Keep in step with the Spirit. Gal 5:16,25. Don't be in a hurry and don't lag behind. You will find a truly satisfying Christian life and at the end you will say with satisfaction, that I have finished the race, I have done everything God wanted me to do. John 17:4
God has a work for you to do. Many good things will try to distract you but remember; the good is the enemy of the best. Don't let anything distract you from hearing the voice of God everyday.
Devour God's word with an expectant heart everyday. Spend time everyday in prayer. Love with a clear conscience everyday and humble yourself in every situation. Obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit all the time.
This is the way to find true joy and lasting peace and a satisfying Christian life.
