He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10, NIV).

Sometimes, life feels like a video game, doesn’t it? You know the path before you will magically appear at some point, but if you aren’t careful, a dissolving block might take its place. One wrong move and you’re back to the starting line, farther and farther away from the finish.

While these video games can be a fun source of entertainment, they’re a scary representation of our lives. Especially if we fear the future and what’s next when we can’t physically see it.

When I was in High School, I was petrified to grow up, choose a career, and go to college. Why? I was scared of making the wrong choice and screwing up God’s plans for my life (as if I were really that powerful). It’s as if I were waiting on the Lord to tell me exactly where to go to college, what to major in, and how to live out the next 5 years of my life. Sometimes I’m still waiting!

Let me be clear: It is possible for God to speak in this way. He might give you a word, or a sign, or speak through a friend or family member. But for most of us, God doesn’t give us specifications; rather, He gives us choices within His rule. Here’s an example:

Instead of seeing God’s will as a dot, picture it as a circle drawn with a protractor. I’m not a fan of math, but I know that using this tool creates a beautiful circle around a single point.
