20-Something Leader and Indecision

God is not a magic 8-ball we shake up and peer into whenever we have a decision to make.  He is a good God who gives us brains, shows us the way of obedience, and invites us to take risks for Him.

Studies show that many 20-Somethings are majoring in “Indecision”.  

  • Name:  20-Something
  • Major:  Undecided

Undecided and Uncommitted to enjoy ”Unparalleled Freedom”. Which was supposed to make you happy, but it ends up making you even more dazed & confused, anxious and bored.  

And at this point, many use religion as a “crutch” and postpone growth and maturity by stating that you’re just ‘waiting on God to reveal His will for your life’.  

So, many pass off instability, inconsistency, and endless self-exploration as “looking for God’s will” phase.  

There are many questions that bounce through your mind as you meander, explore and tinker w/ life, religion, school, people and friends.  

  • What should I do this summer?
  • What should I major?  Should I change my major?
  • What kind of career do I want?
  • Should I get married?  Who should I marry?  
  • Should I go to grad school? 
  • Is now the time for me to buy a house?
  • Where should I go to church?
  • What should I be doing w/ the rest of my life?
  • And who should I be spending it with?
But somehow you know at the back of your mind that you don’t need to deal with all these questions as long as you keep asking the no-brainer question, what is God’s will for my life?
This is the ultimate cop-out question people ask to somehow avoid deciding.  They stall time and life by asking this question.  
Here’s the answer to this seemingly vague and supposedly “holy question”.
What God wants you to do is to make a decision and be faithful to the decision you’ve made.


In God’s eyes, it really doesn’t matter if you marry Sally or Mary.  As long as you’re faithful to whichever one you marry.


And it really doesn’t matter which career you choose.  As long as you faithfully develop yourself to grow in knowledge and skill in your profession.
Here’s the real deal.
God does have a specific plan for our lives, but it is NOT one that He expects us to figure out before we make a decision.
With every choice we make, God continually guides us into the direction of obedience and faithfulness.  And looking back, if we have obeyed and have been faithful, we’ll see God’s footprints in the sand and will come to realize that all things indeed have been orchestrated by the hand of God.
Many fear that they’ll take the wrong job or buy the wrong house or declare the wrong major and even worse, marry the wrong person. 
But that’s not going to happen as long as, you know in your heart of hearts, that you’re obeying and being faithful right now to what you know to be “the right thing to do.”
If you know that you should be studying but are spending endless hours in front of the XBox, it’s more likely that you’ll end up with the wrong job with a wrong spouse.
But on the other hand, if you know that you should be paying tithe and you’re faithful to honor God with the 10% that belongs to Him, you’ll most definitely end up with the right job with the right person.  
Your faithfulness now, determines your future destiny.
Never forget.
And be faithful … now!
