Are you content with your life? The new year is a good time to reassess your situation. Whatever God has equipped you to do, that is where you are going to find success and fulfillment. Find out what you can do, what God has given you skills and talent and unction to do and do it with all your heart. If God has equipped you to be a mother and a homemaker, pursue that with all your heart because that is where His anointing lies for your personal fulfillment and success. If God has equipped you to build and drive race cars, do it with His guidance, His unction, His anointing, and you will make a name for yourself in the area of car racing. If God has given you skills and wisdom to train horses, then pursue that with all your might. With God's help you can be the best horse trainer in the world because that is the path He has chosen for you to follow. If you come to a place in life and discover that your heart is not in what you are doing, that you are not successful, not fulfilled, and not happy, then reconsider. Am I a square peg trying to fit in a round hole? Am I a business executive trying to be a teacher? Am I an accountant trying to be a preacher? Am I a truck driver trying to be a songwriter? Or vice versa? Am I a farmer trying to be an advertising executive? Am I a business executive trying to be a doctor? For lack of guidance, we may pick a path in youth that we think will bring us the success and personal satisfaction we crave. But over the years, the stress of trying to do what we are not equipped to do wears us down. Usually there comes a point where we just can't do it anymore. We are forced to regroup, to rethink, to go to God and find out what it is we were supposed to be doing all along. "God what is my purpose for being here on the earth? What did you send me here to do?" If you are willing to hear, and persist in seeking and inquiring of Him, God will reveal it to you. He will give you the wisdom you need and the courage you need to make the changes you need to find personal fulfillment and satisfaction. On the other hand, if you find yourself in a situation you can't get out of, and God does not intervene to deliver you or does not give you unction to deliver yourself, then rest there and be content there. This may be where He wanted you all along doing just what you are doing, in the place where you are doing it. We deceive ourselves and make ourselves dissatisfied and discontent when we reach out after things God never intended for us. Let's do all we are capable of doing in the place where we find ourselves now, looking always to the next step in God's path for our life. It is never too late to find and to get into God's perfect will, obeying His Word daily, step by step as He leads. Be content to function there with all your heart and to rest there in faith that at the end of your life on earth, you will hear His words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
