Simply put - one of the clues to watch for that directs us towards our destiny is recognizing the activities that touch our heart or bring the deepest sense of fulfillment. It could be the things that cause us to 'rise up in righteous anger'. The later being a sign that the Lord has more healing to do in our heart, but it still can give us some light to what we are called to do.
Like Moses. He got angry when he saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite, so he up and kills the Egyptian. He was already trying to respond to what the Lord put in him to do - deliver his people from bondage and mistreatment, even though it wasn't what the Lord had in mind.
What hit me this morning as I was writing in my journal is the part surrender plays in the development of my destiny. I'm in this situation where I want something that the Lord is isn't giving me right now. The more time goes by, the more I'm realizing how the Lord is using this to change my identity as I surrender to His plans. He has placed something deep within me that says: I want to be set apart unto the Lord - I want Him to be first and way more important then any other relationship or desire. And I have this theology/way of thinking that says; yes, if I follow these certain principles that means that I've placed my heavenly Father first. That's nice and sounds good and really isn't that hard. Keeping a set of beliefs/morals doesn't bring about freedom in our hearts or God's plans for us, and we can do it just to be right and look good. I will hold to my set of beliefs but I won't surrender my right to what I want and let you be my source of life in that place in my heart.
Thankfully Holy Spirit continues to deliver me from my own twisted theology.
Its your goodness that leads me to repentance.
