Where Do You Want Me?

Are you where God want's you to be? Do you know how to tell the difference? Just what does He want me to do? These are all questions that every Christian has asked themselves. Some of us know exactly where we are supposed to be and exactly what God wants us to do. Others of us... eh, we're not so sure. Trust me, you have to seek God and His will for your life in order to know where He wants you to be. We have each been given gifts from God that He intends for us to use. 1Corinthians 12:7-10 outlines special gifts given to each of us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Which gift do you have? Do you know? Have you asked God to let this gift be evident in your life? If you haven't then now is the time to ask and to receive from Him! Another question we always ask ourselves is "Am I where God wants me to be?" Well, are you? Sometimes we have to understand that in order for Him to move us to another place we have to find contentment and purpose in the place we are currently in. You are at your current job for a reason. You can make an impact on your coworkers and those around you on a daily basis. You may not believe it but you are in full time ministry! You work a full time job, you interact with Christians and non Christians alike everyday. You are God's instrument every where you go. If you can learn to be happy and seek out what He wants you to do in the place you inhabit now, He will surely show you greater things and give you so much more to do for the glory of His Kingdom. I feel very strongly that God wants me to work with bikers and with people who are considered outcasts to society. I feel this calling strongly on my life. However I currently know that God wants me to read my bible, pray and gain knowledge and strength in Him before He puts me where He wants me to go. So... I do my best to show His love at work, church, home, the grocery store, etc. etc... I'm content in seeking Him, Listening and learning from the Holy Spirit and waiting for Him to show me where to go and what to do. I know He will open a door for me and I know that I'm doing His work in the field He's placed me in today! So, today is a new day. Seek out His will, wait on Him and let Him open the door to where He wants you to go! 1 Chronicles 16:11(NLT) 11 Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.
