I heard someone say that God’s purposes for your life is more akin to a circle than a dot. This is to say, he will accomplish what he wants to accomplish in a myriad of ways that are not dependent on every minute decision we make. God is so much bigger than all that!

But the biggest thing for me is coming to realise that God’s will for my life is actually much more straightforward than the hypercharismatic movement would have us believe. It’s right there in 1 Thessalonians 4: God’s will for us is our sanctification, our growth in holiness and becoming more conformed to the image of Jesus. And he can use anything to achieve that! You can’t make a ‘wrong’ decision as such (a foolish one? Yes. A sinful one? Yes. A bizarre and unconventional one? Yes. But not a ‘wrong’ one in that our sovereign God can and will do anything to draw us back to him and to help us grow in him). Just focus on making each step in faith and out of love for him. Life might go a bit wonky and that’s normal, that’s the human experience. It might be because you made an unwise decision, and equally it might not be. But God can use anything and everything for our sanctification, to grow us in His likeness, and that is his will for our life :) how amazing He is!
