Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. (1 Corinthians 7:17 ESV)
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13 ESV)
The life that the Lord has called... Many times in a week, and even a day do I wonder what that is. The context of that verse is about marriage, which is one of the many questions I have about my life. Will I get married, am I ready? There is so much that goes just into that portion of life. I want to get married but i do not know if I am ready for that commitment, right now i am having a hard time just settling in one spot.
Then there is a job, what do I do with my life? I want to go back to school for music and ministry, but is that my calling? And how do I know what is Gods calling and what is just me making up my mind on my own?
I am called to do as He has given me, to BE strong, and to ACT as a MAN. There are many times i am NOT a man, giving into my selfish wants and desires. The bible talks so much about giving into the lust of the flesh... And how its so wrong, yet i persist on doing what i know I should not. Who will save me from this body of death...?
Like I said so many questions.. So many things I need to work on, and here i am in the middle of all these people... Feeling as lost as they truly are. I fret over little things, when i am surrounded by people who are eternally condemned... That is my calling... Isnt it? To reach the lost? But what about my own walk, can I focus to much on others?
This is what has been going on in my head... Mainly cause i have been struggling lately.
Give it to Jesus, its all about Jesus... I need to engrain that in my head. Preach the gospel to myself daily. He changes everything.
"and how can I stand here with YOU, and NOT be moved by YOU!?"
