Today, we face a bewildering array of choices, and we all need guidance as we all face decisions about what to do with our lives, our jobs, our partners, where we live, and our money, as well as the everyday decisions we face. we will be.
Choice is a good thing, but it doesn’t make decisions any easier. So does it matter? Is everything just a coincidence or is there really a purpose to life?
It has been said that two days are the greatest days of any person’s life:
One is the person’s birthday and the other is the day when you find out why
Paul writes: It is God who has created us anew and given us this new life by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Since time immemorial, God’s plan has been for us to spend this new life serving others.
We are God’s handiwork. Your life has a purpose and you are not an accident. Your life is important. God has a special destiny for you. Your life can make a difference.
Sometimes this thought worries people that they might somehow spoil things and lose God’s purpose.
But this is not the issue. God’s purpose for our lives is greater than our mistakes.
The map is a bit like God and obviously this analogy is not correct because we are not dealing with a device but with someone who loves us, but just as the map helps us navigate and every time we take a wrong path, the map He puts us on a different path and is infinitely patient, just trying to find a different path.
Sure, you can ignore it, but if you follow it, you’ll have a very enjoyable trip. God loves us and has a purpose for us and is infinitely patient.
As Psalm 32:8 says:
I will guide you and teach you the way you should go; I will advise you and I will not take my eyes off you.
How does God guide us in action?
Well, it’s a relationship. He talks to us. But how do we hear his voice? In practice, there are five main ways through which God speaks to us.
Sometimes it only communicates with us through one of these ways. Sometimes, for a big decision, it is possible to communicate in all these five ways:
1. The first way is the Bible. Your words are a lamp to my feet and a guide to my path (Psalms 119:105).
The Bible is God’s words and we are guided by his words. As we read this, we hear Him talking to us about His love for us, about how we are His children.
How does God guide us in action?
He loves us. We see that His purpose for all of us is to know His love for us and respond to this love by loving Him.
This is how we find the meaning and purpose of our life in a loving relationship with God and then we are called to love other people, our family, friends, neighbors and enemies.
We can fall in love in different ways. Small acts of kindness. A lot of people really have a lot going on in their lives and small acts of kindness that cost nothing can make a difference in a person’s day or even a person’s life.
Also, God’s purpose for our lives is that we should become like Jesus Christ.
For example, we should become a unified nation. There are things that you don’t really need to pray for, such as paying or not paying taxes. You don’t have to say, oh my god, do I have to pay taxes this year or not? God says in the Bible that we must pay our taxes.
Based on the Bible, we know that God has good things in mind for you to do in your life. You are not saved by doing good deeds, but you are saved to do good deeds and God has a unique plan and purpose for you.
