Making Time for God

        Making time for God is something that people of all ages struggle with. When life gets busy, we tend to forget why we are living our lives in the first place. What we need to remember is that we are all on this earth of serve God in our own special way.
I find that most young adults and college students have one major question on their minds – “What am I supposed to do with my life?” Despite the millions of possibilities in career and personal choices, the answer is very simple. We are here to serve God. It is as plain and simple as that.
“So I have recognized that my purpose is to serve God, but what do I do now? Does that mean I am supposed to become a minister or a missionary? How am I supposed to serve God?” The details of serving God aren’t black and white. We all have a special and unique plan that God has set out before us. To find out this plan, all we have to do is ask – “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7, NIV). Ask God to lead you in your life. Here is the kicker; we have to know God in order to ask him things. We have to have a relationship with him in order to know what he wants us to do. How do we do this you ask? By studying God’s word and praying. I have found that when I start my day off with reading the bible and saying a prayer for guidance, that my day is SOOOO much better. I am reminded that I have a purpose and that God has chosen me to serve him. It is such a wonderful and reassuring feeling!
From young adult to young adult, put life’s major decisions into God’s hands. He will never let you down. If you ever have any doubt just look to Jeremiah 29:11-13 – “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart” (ESV).
