Jeff Pfeiffer -- Free choice

I just met with Kip for lunch to discuss what I am suppose to do after I graduate. I was hoping he could tell me what I am suppose to with my life. Our conversation was very interesting. We talked about God's plan and I began to understand better what that means. God's plan is not necessarily a specific path or even a specific thing. His plan is for us to be seeking him in whatever we choose to do. To explain more there is no right or wrong decision only a right and wrong way of pursuing the choice we make. This makes the decision process much less stressful because ultimately what I choose to do is irrelevant. That is unless God has made it clear what exactly he wants or if one of the choices is sinful ergo 'wrong'. God's plan is not a paved road that leads to a particular natural place. Just as long as we seek him in the choice we make. Therefore when we face a decision we should not need worry much about either or but to seek him in the path of our choosing. Since his plan is to bless us and use us wherever we are. After all when we take an eternal perspective my choice of whether I do business or go to Israel doesn't matter. The father of a close friend said before he died, "Nothing else matters but to live in the light of eternity." If I'm seeking the Lord than I will find him wherever I am. Therefore if we are seeking out the Lord in all things (as we should) we cannot choose wrongly because there is no wrong choice!! Our fulfillment than does not come from what we do but from how we do it. For example, I could choose either business or Israel or any other path for that matter and still successfully fulfill God's intent for my life as long as I pursue Him in that choice. The choice then is ours, it is left to me to chose, and to choose freely without fear of deferring from the Lord's providence. I may now with this realization joyfully choose the option I most desire instead of living in angst and stress while wondering what God would have me do. That is to say as much that God is not concerned with my selection, His concern lies only in how I pursue the choice I make. This is the character of God, because He allows us to find Him in our joys, as Christians, we follow our hopes, dreams, and desires rather than following order and laws.
