Our ambitions are the best ammunition for the enemy, because unfulfilled dreams can be the best weapon against us. They make you doubt God and his ability to do just what He said, but you have got to understand that everything that you want to do God did not tell you to do. Many times the devil sets us up using scriptures like Galatians 6:7; things that involve gain, because he knows that most of us are only on the path to pick up loose change, but that is another article. Also another scripture that he really harps on is Ecclesiastes 3:1, which states, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." Though this is very true, you must understand that during every season, every respective species undergoes different things. If you are an apple tree, you cannot sprout strawberries, and some of us are so busy trying to birth what we want, that God cannot birth what He wants. Because we are baring no fruit, we get off the path, because now we are mad at God. We must understand the reason we are here, it is not to pleasure our own ambitions, but it is to give God glory. While it is true that God gave us free will, that free will does not mean that we have free reign to orchestrate our life. As I said earlier, we already are a finished product.
We are destined, so the full score of our life has been written; the choice that we have is who directs (Proverbs 3:6). The most harmful thing you can do to yourself in this walk is forget your purpose. Sometimes because we don't know our purpose, we don't follow the path that God has created for us. Simply meaning, we are not really getting blessed, we are walking in sustenance, and we are provided for, but not prospering. The whole reason God came is so that you may have life in abundance and not just live; so in order to live in the abundance of Christ you must know who and whose you are. There has got to be an uncompromising attitude of excellence and an heir of confidence and an unshaken faith. You must learn that as the old song says, "after you have had a little talk with Jesus, He will answer in the by and by;" that may mean now or later, but in all you do, you must be patient. You must remain steadfast and above all never deviate from the path in which God has placed you on. Stay on the Path!
