The plan of God for your life

Each one of us has a specific call, a purpose, and a plan known only to God, but revealed to us by His Spirit. Philippians 3:17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.4:1 Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. It is a hard line to try and walk in the flesh as a Christian and try to still fulfill God's call on your life. While I was praying this morning, I thought about our purpose, and that even in the world everything that was made seems to have a fairly specific purpose. A bike was made to ride. A book, made to read. You are called by God for a very specific purpose, and you can't fulfill it by a work in the flesh. Romans 8: There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Let me say it plainly; we cannot please God by walking in our flesh. Our strength has limits, God's does not. Our understanding, our abilities, everything we are is weak compared to God. I cannot fulfill the perfect plan and purpose God has for me, by me. I must submit to the will of God, walk in the Spirit, and put on the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16) "Lord help us to be able to let You lead. Sheep do not make good shepherds. You are that One and only Good Shepherd, and we are Your sheep. Lord we trust in You to lead us and guide us, to bring us to Your side. You alone are God, and You alone are good. We Love You Lord, in Jesus Name, amen."
