So this morning's sermon focused on the topic of God having a destiny or something specific that he wanted each person to do. There was a time I was completely on board with that idea, but now after dealing with burnout, seeing leaders fail, and realizing that most lives have been lived primarily in the mundane, I'm not so sure I can believe that or even think it is a biblical idea. Getting into the semantics and details is where things really break down because I guess I would say that I do believe God has plans for people, but I'm not sure that for most people those plans are as specific as pursue this career and work at this company. So I'm opening up the discussion for our little corner of the internet.
What do you think is meant by "God's destiny for you" or "God's will for your life"?
How has your concept of it influenced your faith and the decisions you've made in life?
How do you know when the setbacks and discouragements are tests of faith and when they're a sign that you just completely have gotten it wrong?
And anything else you can think of relevant to the topic.
