How do you fulfill God's vision for your life?

When God gives you a vision for what your life could be, how do you get there? The night I was baptized, I was walking up into the tank, I feel God tell me in my spirit, "You're going to meet your wife through this church." Then I got baptized. Awesome, right? Going public with my faith, but then also this vision of me possibly getting a wife through the church. What am I supposed to do to get there? Yesterday in these daily videos, we talked about how God appeared to Moses and gave him a vision of what's to come, that he was going to use Moses to bring God's people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. And Moses had a similar sentiment, how is this going to happen? So, when God gives us a vision for our life, how do we get there? Well, when God gave the vision to Moses, he didn't leave God and start chasing after it. He had questions, lots of questions. People make fun of Moses for that. God told you it's going to happen, why didn't you just go do it? I think God knew Moses would have questions. Instead of just feeling overwhelmed and walking away, Moses brings those questions, fears, and potential challenges to God, letting him speak into it. So, for me, I did ask God, "What do you want me to do with this? Do I go to church and start looking for her? When is this going to happen?" And then, of course, "Did I even hear you correctly, God?" So, when Moses brings these questions to God, something interesting starts to happen. God starts to give Moses little random things to do. Like when God said, "What is that in your hand?" Moses said, "A staff." The Lord said, "Throw it on the ground." So, Moses does it, it turns into a snake, picks it up again, it turns back into a staff. And as a result, Moses saw a mini miracle in this small step of obedience to something that seemed completely random and not related. Then God gave him another step, "Put your hand inside your cloak." So, Moses put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous. It had become as white as snow. Now, Moses could have freaked out, said, "God, I did what you told me to do, and now I'm sick." But, he was patient and listened to God's next step, "Now, put it back in your cloak." So, Moses put it back in his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored like the rest of his flesh. So, God is getting him into the practice of taking a step, obeying, and confirming through little God moments that this is really him. So, for me, when I brought those questions to God, I felt like he told me, "Listen to every sermon that's ever been preached in that church." Random, how's that going to help me meet my wife? But, I started to do it, and I got to the sermon series where I learned that the pastor and his wife didn't kiss until their wedding day. And I'm like, "Hmm, that's weird. I would never do that." He said to God, "Do you want me to make a commitment now to not kiss till my wedding day?" One of those things where you ask it, but you don't really want an answer, so you're not paying attention. Well, 2 days later, one of my friends randomly texted me an article about a husband and wife who didn't kiss until their wedding day. So, I'm like, "Okay, God. I get it." And I dramatically said to God, "Okay, I'm never going to kiss somebody again, or until you bring this wife into my life, kissing her for the first time on my wedding day." And then over the next year, like Moses, I'd go to God and ask questions. He'd give me what seemed like a random step. I'd obey, feel confirmation that it was the right thing to do, then go back to God with more questions. Six months later, I'd meet my future wife, and 6 months after that, we would kiss for the first time on our wedding day. So, when God gives us a vision for our life, what can we do? Follow Moses' example. Don't just chase after it. Bring all of it to God and say, "What do you want me to do with this? Is this really you? What step do you want me to take?" And no matter how random, as long as it aligns with the word of God, obeying and taking that step, and then trusting God with the next step. The goal isn't to achieve the vision. The goal is to get closer to God. Let me know, friends, what's the next step that God is calling you to take. I'm praying for you today. God bless.
