1 | life purpose? | OT general | jessica21 | 121636 | ||
I have a friend that is really struggling with what God wants him to do in life. He is having a hard time figuring out what he has a passion for and I was wondering if there was anybody in the bible who needed to be patient and in time God revealed to them what he had planned. I am really just seeking some wisdom or insightful words to encourage him to keep building his character and by pursuing God, he won't be lead astray. I think the biggest reason he is stressed is because he is receiving a lot of pressure from his parents to figure out what he wants to do in life now and their expectations are really high. | ||||||

I can think no better human example than Joseph from Genesis. For at a young age, he saw God had great plans for him, and in spite of all the trials and tribulations that came his way, he never lost his faith in God. I've copied a small portion below just to show how truly he was a man of God but you really must read the whole story yourself to get the full perspective. Especially powerful was his avoiding sin with Potipher's wife when she tempted Joseph. Gen 50:18 Then his brothers also came and fell down before him and said, "Behold, we are your servants." 19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place? 20 "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. 21 "So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. 22 Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father's household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years. Another great example to us all, showing great courage and patience is that of Job, from the book, same name. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
