Destiny

For the past 6 weeks our youth group has been studying the idea that we each have a destiny. More than that, the idea that God is desiring to reveal His very specific plans to each of us.
We looked at the life and destiny of King David, John the Baptist, Stephen and, as a group, the early church. Each became aware of and lived out their destiny differently.
My favorite was Stephen. He was a regular church member who was appointed as deacon, then given the job of distributing that days version of meals on wheels. As he walked closer and closer to God he was given the opportunity to speak to the Jewish leadership. That turned out to be his last day on earth, but his first day in heaven.
As each of these grew closer to God they could see more clearly God's very specific plans. Their destiny was realized as they each began to work along side Him.
As we long to know what the future holds, we can come along side the Master and see, in Him, our destiny.
