"What's Next," is a question I often posed before the Lord after I had completed a long-awaited goal. There were times when I didn't even enjoy the success because I was so focused on what I would do next.
I have discovered that "NEXT" will always be known through an intimate relationship with Christ.
When you were recreated in Christ Jesus, you were given desires to do the good works God planned and prepared ahead of time for you to walk in. There is a good life God prearranged and made ready for you to live. (paraphrased - Ephesians 2:10)
The key to discovering God's prearranged plans for your life or "What's Next," will always be through a relationship where you walk and talk with the Lord. Stay focused on Jesus and He will always LEAD you to "NEXT."
Prayer for the Journey
Heavenly Father, thank you for your continual guidance in my life. Thank you for reminding me that I can keep my eyes on you and not always looking for what I am supposed to do. As I remain focused on you, you will guide me into the plans that have been prepared for my life. Help me to slow down and enjoy life and the successes that come with it! Help me not to live life rushed, always trying to get to the next assignment. As I live in a close relationship with you, help me to realize that you are leading and guiding me on a path that will always bring me to "NEXT."
In Jesus Name, Amen!
