People are forever determining there future direction and making choices in the way they lead their lives. These conscientious decisons are what makes up are personalities and creates our character as well as the purposes and reasons for the actions that we take in our life's direction. We can go all out and aim for the top of a career path or take our time reading and relaxing for better pacing and peace of mind. Of course the quick and hard road of wanting more money all the time is often the creation of health issues, while establishing a firm bank account or foothold on the market for a prosperous retirement. Unfortunately we can't have our cake and eat it to, we can't have large bank accounts and sit on our hands in peaceful retirement.

We are forever determining our paths by the choices that we make. It would be nice to think that you could accumulate enough money for all those rainy days down the track, but we soon run out of funds again sitting on our hands relaxing and we then have to seek another way for gainful employment or making money. If we constantly make choices and decisions to determine our path for ourselves are we leaving God out of the picture by taking our own personal future direction into our own hands. Of cource this is a management tactic, but we often lose sight of the bigger picture and purpose that God has in our lives and what He requires for us to do for an eternal destination. This to is another consideration that we must all take into account when we are forever determining our lives, just where does God fit in or if at all. Others say, that you should have all things in moderation and bring God into your picture with the rest of your own ideas, this is having many irons in the fire, but you have to know when they are hot enough to take them out and use them.

We can include God in our own directions if we listen to Him and His giuidlines and give back a little for that effort. So we are forever determining our owm lives and God is to because we don't always get what we want as other people are also competeing for that right of getiing their own way. When the path crosses for example we have to make choices that will suit other people as well as ourselves to compromise our own situation. This competitive edging of fighting for our own ideals loses the focus on working for others and earning that money. So we are forever determining our own paths at the expense of others to put it roundly. The harder we work for ourselves the more we are in a compromising situation with others.

However life is good and that is what makes it interesting for us as, in that if we always got our own way life, would be rather boring and that forever detirmining that situation is really a forever compromising determination of others. We must be content with what we have got when we have enough and that is the key to balance and harmony. Try and let God do the determining and forever plan to fit in with the goals of the bigger picture of His directions for the unltimate success of fitting in with living with kingdom purposes for your lives.
