-Why are we so hesitant on spending a summer on missions, but when we are offered an internship we take it without hesitation?
-Why are we too busy for a winter retreat, but suddenly so available when it comes to a snowboard trip?
-Why do we have to "see if we're called" when someone challenges us to be a missionary or pastor, when we already call ourselves future doctors and future lawyers?
I guess what I'm trying to say is: Have we asked God to unveil His vision for our lives, or are we asking Him to bless a plan that we've already come up with? We must come to God with empty hands and an open heart and ask, 'What is your vision for my life?'
Now that I'm in my last year of college, I've been thinking a lot about my future and what I'm going to do. I keep asking God to give me His vision for my future, but honestly, I've already made up my mind on what I want to do. I have a 5-year plan, a 10-year plan, and I plan on making more plans. Maybe it is God's will, maybe it's not. But I'll never know until I fully yield myself to God. I don't want to look back decades from now and realize that all I've done was a waste. Please Lord--not my will, but Yours be done.
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
[Psalm 127:1]

THAT is the will of God for you.
therefore, whatever you do, whether its the 5 year plan or 10, do it for the glory of God. 1cor10:31
