On studying.
I know most people study for grades and all the what nots (to get a gd cert so that we can get a good job) but let me offer everyone a new perspective.
We will always complain we don't know what God's purpose for us is, but the truth is that, God's purpose is perhaps already revealled. To understand that, we must first debunk a myth that when God has a purpose for us doesn't mean He comes and tells us that hey I want you to be a great evangelist, I want you to be a teacher etc. At the end of the day, I guess no one can really what God's true purpose until our work on Earth is completely done and He calls us home. On reflecting from there would we then know.
But it's possible to know what is God's purpose for us right now. The things that God has already placed in our lives are part of our purpose. Take me for an example, God has made a student. And that means that God wants me to be a student. And my job is to be a good one, study well go for classes and what nots. In other words, at this point of time the purpose of God for me is to be student. I mean, He could have made me a doctor, a nurse, a working adult, an illterate woman etc. but no, He placed me right here and right now and the fact He does that, I believe that He is also expecting us to do our best in this arena that He placed us in.
As an extention, I guessed sometimes we are so obessed is searching that big PURPOSE in life that we lose sight of the purpose that He wants for us right here and right now. I guess instead of complaining and saying how God has no purpose for us, we should do the best of what we have in our hands right now for what we have right now IS the purpose of God.
And yes, that means I need to put more effort in studying. Must concentrate and do well =)
