In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll hear from Nolen about the importance of not missing the will of God!
"Most Christians are so busy doing the work of the church that they miss the will of God". That is a quote by famous author and scholar, Dr. Henry Blackaby, author of Experiencing God. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily activities, especially when they're related to church work. However, it's crucial to remember that our ultimate goal should be to fulfill God's purpose and plan for our lives, rather than merely staying busy. This requires us to take a step back and truly seek His will for us. One way to discover God's plan for our lives is through prayer and meditation. Spending quiet time with God allows us to hear His voice and gain clarity on the path He has laid out for us. It's during these moments that we can truly experience God and understand His desires for us. If you haven't learned how to hear from God, then you'll be delighted to discover this in Session 4, of the GPS Life Journey process. This is where you'll understand how to hear from God and get directions for their lives. Another way is by surrounding ourselves with wise and mature Christian mentors who can provide guidance and insight. These individuals can offer valuable perspective and help us navigate the challenges and decisions that come our way. Proverbs 15:22 says, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Seeking counsel from others can help us stay on track and fulfill God's purpose for our lives. Again, the GPS Life Journey process is an excellent opportunity to experience mentorship and guidance in a facilitated small group. There is plenty of time for discussion and receiving input from others as you discover God's mission for your life. Additionally, it's important to remember that God's plan for our lives is often revealed through our gifts, talents, and passions. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we were created for good works, which He prepared beforehand. When we use our unique abilities to serve others and glorify God, we are fulfilling the plan He has for us. This is why we spend the first three sessions of GPS Life Journey looking at how God shaped you! You'll discover more about yourself using seven assessments. This includes: your personality, your strengths, your passions, your values, your experiences, your spiritual gifts and your abilities. In conclusion, while staying busy with church work is important, it's even more vital that we discover and commit to fulfilling God's specific purpose and plan for our lives. By seeking His will through prayer, surrounding ourselves with wise counsel, and utilizing our gifts and talents, we can experience God and walk in the path He has laid out for us. GPS Life Journey helps you discover your God-given purpose for the next stage of your life and engage in fulfilling that purpose. Be committed to fulfilling that rather than just simply being busy!
