Who is to know what is to come?

No one really knows what each moment will bring. But,for sure, what you do in the present moment will affect your next moment. So if you have a specific direction you want to take, if you focus on it in the present moment, it is likely what you are focusing on will keep you in the right direction. This can apply to everything in your life, from the smallest to the most important things.

I want to do God's will, to fulfill His purpose for my life. How do I do this? I believe by praying and spending time with God through His word, He will lead me in the way He wants me to go. Though I definitely need to spend quality time with Him each day to know what this is. I need to be with God with an attitude of humble surrender to Him, not so much of a prayerful petition of my wants. When I set aside my wants and desires, it is then that I can see, so much more clearly, what God wants me to do. I can't be going after what I think is the right thing, so much so, that I get in the way of God's purpose. So each moment, each step, has to be a deliberate dropping of my will, surrendering to God, then He will definitely make sure I am accomplishing what I am here for.

Praise You, Jesus.

Job 28: 20, 23, 28
"When, then, comes Wisdom, and where is the place of understanding?"
"God knows the way to it; it is He who is familiar with its place."
"Behold the fear of the Lord is Wisdom, and avoiding evil is understanding."
