What are we determined too? Is it the right things? Or is it self centered? Often we have our own plans in our everyday lives. Some work out,but mostly they fail. Is God included in our plans? Usually not! Due to our intentions that are contrary to the word of God. If we know that why do we determine ourselves to continue? When it works out sometimes is this what motivates us to continue? Living and learning! Time over an over we look for a breakthrough of change,when really its more stress self inflicted frustration. We need to change our desires. God created us uniquely different,an somewhat independently creative, but only for what's good. Will we ever get this process? Our desires reveals where our hearts are at! Let's seek God for His true intentions for our lives. To better accomplish position where we should be,rather than our selfish,disobedient,determined way that ends in frustration that we blame God for.

I love your question, "What are we determined too?" It makes one ponder how many times on the countless times we have been determined to do something but no matter how determined we are things just do not work out! I believe (in most cases) it is because what we are determined to do does not line up with the Will of God! I can't begin to tell you how many times I set my eyes on accomplishing something, only to become frustrated because it doesn't work out! But I believe this frustration could have been avoided if I had consulted with God on the things I had set out to accomplish! Why dont we end the vicious cycle of frustration by seeking God in all that we set out to do (whether small or large)? In my case, I believe its because I am scared to go to Him because He may say, "No!" Now that's pure honesty! Yes, I am scared that what I want, may not be what God wants for me! So I selfishly set out on a vicious cycle of going after the things that I want, only to be disappointed that they dont work out! Crazy, I know! Thank you for this post! I'm more determined now to line up with the Will of God for my life and consult with Him in everything that I do! His Will for my life, is bigger then what my little mind could ever think or imagine for myself!
