We divide and categorize people in many ways \u2013 politically, racially, economically, denominationally, geographically. The Bible divides people into two groups \u2013 those who follow God\u2019s will and those who don\u2019t. Many use their God-given freedom of choice to choose their own way. My granddaughter graduates from college soon. She recently shared with me her feelings of doing something different with her life than her college major prepared her to do. My response was that you do what you feel God is leading you to do and watch to see how everything you\u2019ve thought was God\u2019s will (including a college major) is used by God in your future. Examples of this truth are legion. God has a plan, a purpose for your life. Accept and follow, or reject and refuse to follow. The Bible says it this way: \u201cThe Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back\u201d (Isaiah 14:27)? Written by Bo and Dick Baker for a youth camp in the mid-1950s, \u201cHis Way . . . Mine\u201d became a favorite for many a youth and young adult who discovered God\u2019s will for their life, myself included:
\n\u201cNow in His will my soul finds life worth living
\nEach day new blessings from above
\nTho\u2019 shadows come and valley\u2019s seem unending
\nStill I know He makes a way for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
