God's Plan for Your Life (Episode 178)

Perhaps you have been successful at doing the very thing or things you wanted to do in life. But being a person of faith, you may still be wondering about that higher calling. In other words, what is God's plan for your life? Sad but true, many people believe we are born, we live, and then we die, end of story. But in this episode, Frank King explains that the Bible does not support that narrow-minded view of our existence. In his second letter to Timothy, Paul writes that God has, “Saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” (2 Tim. 1:9). None of us simply happened. God didn't look down on the earth one day and say, “Oh my goodness, look at Jesse, look at Sheila; I don't know what to do with them.” God created us with a divine purpose. So many people today are just drifting through life. They don't even have a sense of natural purpose for their life. They are just passing through this life. But our life was made to be lived and not just passed through. According to the verse, God had a purpose for our life before the world began. It’s important that we seek to know what God’s plan is for our life. That may sound difficult since He seldom if ever speaks to us audibly. But He knows how to reveal His plan for our life in such a way that we can discern what it is.
