You have a God-future!

Do we have a master plan for our future? A colour-coded, itemised, prioritised 10-year plan? Most of us don't! It can feel daunting when the future looks hazy, but God works in different, higher ways to us. Even though he may not show us where we'll be long-term, if we ask him to, he'll guide our steps as we take them.

'I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them' (Isaiah 42:16 NKJV). Before we go down any path, let's consult God: he may not show us our final destination, but he wants us to know that he has a purpose and direction for us, right now, today.

There's serious benefit in creating (even scheduling) ourselves alone time with God. Mark 3:34 (NKJV) says: 'When they were alone, he explained all things to his disciples.' Jesus made it a priority with his disciples, and used it for valuable, direction-bringing time. Let's do it too.



So what now? Know someone with a particular life-plan or dream? Ask to spend time with them, and encourage them on their journey, pray that they'll see God with them in each step. And ask them to encourage you, whether you have no idea of your future or are well into the master plan God has for you.
