I was recently talking to a friend about opportunities at work and in the community. While our employers encourage us to grow, the opportunities within the organizations are limited. We both remarked that we often need to make our own way, which can be both tiring and exciting. As we make our own way in order to develop our skills, how do we know which way to go?
Thinking about our growth, we cannot rely solely on ourselves or our employers. If we only rely on what our companies or organizations present as opportunities for growth, we may be limited. If we rely only on our own ideas, we may not see the big picture. When we look to ourselves or other earthly sources of guidance, we end up being squeezed into conforming with what the world expects. To break free from the patterns of the world, we need to look to God. It is by following His will that we will truly develop and transform. We can be renewed, transformed, and become more than we ever could on our own!
Make your way by following God's will and allowing Him to transform you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being active in my life and having a plan for me. Help me to follow Your will and allow me to experience all that You have in store for me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
