Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Every human is born for a particular reason. Just like Jeremiah, everyone has a part to play on earth; an assignment to fulfill. God created us each for a definite purpose and the fulfillment of this purpose is the greatest achievement one can have.
For purpose to be fulfilled, it must first be discovered and hence, pursued with divine direction. To be ignorant of your stand in God can lead you to a life of frustration and waste (because God has designed us for a reason).
Confidence is bred out of certainty, that is, until you find your place in life; until you discover that which you've been ordained for; until you know your reason for being, the essence of your existence, you'll continue to experience all manners of frustrations.
The story of Jeremiah enlightens us of the need to know God's intention for us here on earth. When we are saved, we come into God's agenda, by which we are able to manifest his promises. It is therefore essential to understand divine direction - a subject of which its value hasn't really been put into much consideration in the recent times.
DISCOVERY
Until we walk in accordance to this divine design, we cannot live a glorious destiny. So many people have missed the place of God in their lives and are therefore walking in the wrong direction.
For instance, some people are fully into business when God has called them into politics, some are fully into ministry of Pastoring when God has called them to become teachers... (because they have adopted the wrong yardstick in determining what God wants them to do).
THE PLACE OF VISION
Vision is knowing the mind of God for a particular situation, that is, unfolding the Master's plan, whereas, Divine direction is the steps you need to take to accomplish it.
Direction is the true light of every believer, and access to it is only possible by the presence of God (just like the case of Jeremiah who's purpose was revealed to him my God).
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
To understand divine direction and walk in God's plan, we have to make the act of meditating in God's Word a lifestyle.
