The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. That means He sets the direction for your life.

Main message: We often treat God like a maps app—telling Him our desired destination and asking for directions—but Jesus calls us to let God set the destination first and to ask whether the path or ministry we want is actually His will for us.

Key points:

• People commonly decide the end goal for their lives and then ask God for guidance to reach it.
• God may not provide directions for a destination we chose; we need to be open to His plans.
• Before pursuing a particular ministry or life path, ask God if that is the destination He intends for you.
• A mentor advised checking with God about whether a certain ministry is meant for you, illustrating the need to seek God’s calling rather than imitate others.
