Your Personalized Road Map

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, Ephesians 1:11

The Bible says before you were born: ‘Every day of [your] life was recorded … Every moment … laid out before a single day had passed’ (Psalm 139:16). God personalized a road map for your life ‘in conformity with … his will’. And it’s your job to discover it and walk within its confines. Respected pastor Terry Nance says: ‘You may know your ultimate destination, but need guidance on how to get there. First and foremost, “God’s Word is a lamp for your feet and a light for your path” (Psalm 119:105). He sees the big picture … the shortcuts and pitfalls … Don’t look for external guidance … the Holy Spirit lives inside you, and it’s from within that you’ll get the inside track.’ Meditate on these Scriptures and make them personal prayers: ‘God has made us what we are … to do good works, which [He] planned in advance for us to live our lives doing’ (Ephesians 2:10). ‘The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives’ (Psalm 37:23). ‘You clear the way for me, and now I won’t stumble’ (Psalm 18:36). ‘Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take’ (Proverbs 3:6). ‘Behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or … left’ (Isaiah 30:21). At the end of his life Paul could say, ‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith’ (2 Timothy 4:7). Notice, sometimes Paul had to ‘fight’ to stay on course, but by God’s grace he made it – and so will you!
