If you feel ahead of it, you're happy. If you feel behind it, you're dissatisfied. The better question is where you got the blueprint.\nMy co-host Nick Surface and I take that question to Moses, David and a line from our friend Jeremy Baker: God doesn't activate you. He redirects you.\nWhat does God want me to do with my life?\nStart with what's in your hand. When God showed up at the burning bush, Moses was already working, shepherding his father-in-law's flock on the far side of the wilderness (Exodus 3:1). You get yourself to work hard. Then God says, here's what I want you to work hard on.\nDoes God activate you or redirect you?\nActivation is something outside of you making you move. Redirection is when you're already moving and you get aligned. It's a lot easier to turn the wheels of a car that's already moving.\nWhy is it so hard to be faithful in little things?\nDavid was anointed king and went right back out to the sheep. Don't despise the day of small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10).\nWhere does meaning come from?\nViktor Frankl said the meaning of your life is a question life asks you, and you answer it.\nScriptures\nExodus 3:1 · Exodus 4:2 · Proverbs 16:9 · Zechariah 4:10 · Matthew 25:21 · Colossians 3:23 · Proverbs 3:5-6 · Ecclesiastes 9:10\nChapters\n0:00 Cold open and show intro\n0:52 Were the 90s really the good old days?\n5:28 Behind on your life blueprint?\n6:34 If God has a plan, it isn't your plan\n7:34 Moses and the burning bush\n8:01 God doesn't activate you, He redirects you\n9:13 Moses was already working\n11:12 \"I'm 24.
