How to Get Clarity for the Plan of God in Your Life

Usually people have trouble when they try to figure out God’s plan, because they get too complicated about it. It’s really very simple. God is not going to design a perfect plan for your life and then abandon you to figure it out by yourself.
No, He wants you to find out what it’s all about and passionately yearns to be part of it, because His plan is so huge you would never be able to walk it out on your own. It is exceedingly and abundantly above anything you could think of!
Nevertheless there are 3 issues that will keep you in darkness about His plan. If you don’t deal with them, you won’t have the clarity you need to walk out the awesome blueprint He has already designed for your life.
Condemnation:
If you are focusing on all the bad stuff in your life you will not be able to hear from God, because of your conscience. Even though it is very hard for human nature to understand, we have to come to the point of realizing what Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross really did for us.
The book of Hebrews says He dealt with the bad stuff in our life once and for all. If you commit a mistake, don’t cry over it for three years. Go to the throne of mercy, repent and get on with your life. There is not enough time to ponder on all our mistakes!
Cowardice:
Do you have trouble confessing your faith or stepping out for God? Then you are probably dealing with cowardice.
The good news is that we don’t have to be bold by our own strength, He is the one who makes us bold by His Spirit.
Peter was a coward who denied Jesus three times, but when the Spirit of God came upon Him in Pentecost (Acts, Chapter 2), he boldly preached a sermon and 3,000 people were converted.
You are not walking alone in His plan for you. God is with you, loving you, caring for you and giving you the wisdom to proceed.
Contrariness:
If there is something in you that is not totally submitted to God, but is pulling you in another direction, it will be an obstacle for you. God will not make you walk in His plan. He is a gentleman.
That is why the Bible says: “Many are called but few are chosen.” Whether you are chosen or not only depends on you, not God. It requires total submission to God to walk in His plan.
Once you realize that your petty plans for your life are not nearly as exciting and wonderful as His, you will not rebel against His plan.
Oh, and remember…
“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings.” (Acts 17:26)

I wouldn’t say I agree 100% regarding certain issues, but you’ve got an interesting point of view. Anyway, I like the quality you bring to the blogosphere and that this isn’t just another abandoned, made-for-adsense site! Take care…
