I don’t know of Scripture that advises us to look at our life history to determine what we should do in the future. We may have taken a path in the past that is contrary to the way that God is leading us in the future. In such a case, following the path that we took earlier may lead us in the wrong direction. However, it maybe useful to look at our life history to see how God has prepared us for the future. For example, I was given training in how to deliver short presentations to groups of people. Immediately
after finishing such training, a pastor approached me and asked me to make presentations to children during worship services. The pastor did not realize that I had just been trained fora job like the one that he was asking me to do. I felt that God was calling me to accept this ministry opportunity. After all, it was Scriptural
to teach children the Bible, I was gifted in relating to children, and I had just received training. How has God been preparing you for service What spiritual gifts has he given to you What interests
has he put in your heart What is your passion? What resources do you have that could be used in ministry If you see that you are prepared
fora certain course of action, pray that God will either confirm or deny that course of action.
