For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus… [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them… Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC)
You don’t need to beat out a new path for your life and destiny. Your parents don’t have to do that, neither should circumstances or conditions dictate the course of your destiny. There’s already a path and destiny cut out for you.
God our maker chose our paths before we were born. He not only foreknew us but also planned beforehand the course and final destination we would take.
He told Jeremiah “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations–that’s what I had in mind for you.” Jeremiah 1:5 (MSG)
Likewise for each and every one of us God has holy plans for us; He has something in mind for us. He has a path and a destiny for each one of us.
Listen to God to find your path and destiny. Listen to His Word. Listen to your heart where God’s Spirit communicates with you.
