What can we do to make our lives more effective? Are you living in a purposeful way? Are you living in a series of coincidences, or are you actively making decisions to make life a certain way? Are you wondering why things happen to you or do you already know why they do? Life can be something that happens to you or happens for you, it all depends on what you do to make certain things happen.
Life is what God wants it to be, first and foremost. We can try all day and not have something happen if it is not in his will for it to occur. We know that anything can happen on a daily basis. Life can be a series of poor choices or wise decisions. As humans, we make the best decisions we can determined largely by past experience and current circumstance. The most we can do to enjoy life is to do the best we can according to God’s will.
Will we be successful in life? Is that up to us? It is determined by how well we rely on God to train and deliver us into a good circumstance. Ever heard the saying, do what you can and let God do the rest? That is the best thing that we can do. Sometimes it’s frustrating when we really want something and God doesn’t want us to have it! We must trust his word against ours. He knows all. He foresees what could happen to us. We must trust him fully. So next time you get rejected from something that you wanted, know that God is most likely behind the rejection.
Effective living begins with us. Move forward, do everything you can, and allow for God’s final decision to determine our fate.
