One of the many questions asked by people is "What am I supposed to do in life?" This topic concerns many of us as we attempt to "do" what God wants us to do. People of all ages find themselves asking this question after significant changes in life whether it be high school graduation, marriage, loss of spouse or family member, financial unrest, tragedy, etc. What I want to point out today is that it is more important to be what we should be. In being what God wants us to be we cannot help but to do what He wants us to do.
An individual that desires to fight for his country will not have the opportunity to do so without first joining the armed forces and becoming what he should be as a soldier. Only after becoming proficient in all that his training officers have instructed will he then be given the opportunity to fight for his country. We should be far more concerned with becoming like Christ and the question of what we shall do will come along in due time in the context of His great plan for our lives. The scripture referenced above is another reminder of what God is looking for in us before revealing to us His complete will. We should not be too worried with the uncertainty of what the future has in store for us and far more focused on being what we should be.
In this way I can tell anyone what the will of God is for their life...be more like Jesus every day and the "what shall I do" will take care itself.
