Psalm 32:8 (NLT)
8 The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
Observation:
There is great value in dreaming big dreams and having lofty aspirations. These are the fuel that energizes our passion. However, the time comes when we need to take action.
The goodnews for the woman and man of God is that we have a great leader, and He has a wonderful plan for our life.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Let’s look at what God said to Jeremiah, and what Jeremiah said in response to God’s declaration.
Jeremiah 1:5-7 (NLT)
5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
6 “O Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”
7 The LORD replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.
Do you find yourself saying, “I can’t?” You are right. You can’t but God can. Are you ready to let go, and let God have His way in your life?
Are you willing to pray the prayer that David prayed?
Psalm 119:35 (NLT)
35 Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. We exalt You and give you the praise, glory, and honor befitting our heavenly Father.
Father, we also humble ourselves before you and pray this prayer that your servant David prayed.
Psalm 73:22-24 (NLT)
22 I was so foolish and ignorant— I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
Father, tune our hearts to agree with Your heart and give us the desire to know your will and to do it by the strength that you provide. We pray together in the name of Jesus, Amen.

1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
10 And the LORD came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”
