A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Prov 16:9 (NKJV)

It's important to live life with purpose. Having a ‘purpose’ gives you direction, helps you make major decisions, keeps you moving, and sets you on a decisive path. Stagnant life is just like stagnant water… It gets murky, blocked up, smelly, trapped… We weren't designed to be murky creatures of nothing. God created us with, and for, great purpose. Sure – it's nice to have days where we have ‘no plans' – nothing to do and no one to see… no pressure, just rest. But a whole life of that??? It gets you nowhere.

Where do you want to be in ten years – WHO do you want to be in five years?

Start making plans in your heart. Get moving in life. When we make plans and start walking them out, we get momentum, and our momentum gives God room to direct our steps. Many years ago a wise man gave me some advice, he said to make plans and decisions, get some direction, but keep them fluid – don't set them in concrete. Keep your heart and life open for God to come and direct those plans and ultimately direct your heart. Move them around, if needed, to line up with His word and purpose.

A lot of us ‘sit around waiting' for direction from God. Or wondering what our purpose is. I used to get so worried about ‘what my destiny was’, or what ‘God’s will' for me was, that I was almost too anxious to do anything at all in case it wasn't the right thing (hence the advice above from my friend).

If this is you, have a look at what you’ve got right in front you… what are you naturally good at? What do you LOVE to do? Just start there.

Get moving. God is waiting for you to draw near to Him, to step out in faith – He will direct your steps. Your heart is of high value to God; in directing your steps He will always keep, protect, love, inspire, encourage and nurture your heart. SO dream big, make plans, get moving and allow him to direct your steps.

Have an awesome day.
