Well last night I had a really neat experience. I had the privilege of playing the piano, and leading singing at the Gospel Mission. What was so meaningful to me, was that God was there, and we knew it, and so all of us got into the music, and into the message, and the prayer time; and God was able to speak, and move in the meeting. I went back to work and cleaned up the produce department, and put out as much product as I could with the time I had left.
Then I went home...
As I was finishing up work though, and as I was getting ready for bed last night, I had all kinds of troubling thoughts, mostly anxiety of what am I gonna do with "my" life. So I told God about it, and I was like, "God what am I gonna do with my life?" But He didn't answer, He just gave me the peace I needed to go to bed.
But this morning, I started reading in Romans 12, where Paul is telling Christians to live according to their calling and gifts; I felt like God was saying: "here, this is for you." The chapter really gripped me because, though I'm making mistakes, and I'm falling and failing, every day; I'm right where God wants me to be, and I'm living according to His gifting and calling for my life.
"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
(Romans 13:14)
