Plans for the Future

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I plan to do in the next couple of years. It's the age old question that everyone asks the college student...what are you going to do with life?  So many times we can plan out our goals and things we want to do but the hard question for the Christian and for me is what does God want us to do. I've spent my own fair share of time asking God where He wants me and seeking to understand the will of God for my life. In chapel today we heard a message from Gary Stairs. He spoke from 1 Samuel, when God chose David to be the next King of Israel. What he focused on however was God's instruction to Samuel and revealing to Him what He wanted Samuel to do. I think as we look at scripture and at the way God has worked in the past we can recieve and answer for the Question, "What is God's will." God asks us to go...to start living for Him. Whether we are planning to be involved in ministry or to be a witness in the workplace God, He asks us to live for Him right where we are. So what must I do...I live for God right here on campus...I surrender daily to what He has for me. I may have plans for the future but if God closes a door then my plans can change...the most important thing is living for Him right now.
