God is not only the God of the past and present. He is Lord over the future. He has already laid out the path of your future. He is calling us now to step into the life he has prepared for us. This means that you don’t need to make life happen. You don’t need to cut a way through the jungle of life; the path has already been cut for you. The works that God has called you to do have been prepared beforehand. In fact, you were created with exactly the right attributes and abilities to do the very works God has prepared for you to do and even now, if you connect with God, he will equip you with the strength and wisdom to do what he has foreordained for you to do. There is nothing to achieve in the Kingdom of God. All we have to do is step into the works of God. God is doing things in people’s lives today and he has prepared them, and you, for a moment of divine encounter. You will encounter the providence and sovereignty of God as you step into these works, and others will encounter the love and grace of God in you. The path is laid out; you just need to be intentional about walking in it. You can go to the same places and do the same things with any number of different agendas. But if you choose today to serve God wherever you go and in whatever it is that you do, and if you remain alert to what he is doing, then you will walk into the works of God today. That’s what I call living!
Commit yourself to God and ask him to lead you into his works today.
