Like Apostle Paul said,

We press towards the mark of the high calling of Jesus Christ... not we press toward the mark of our prayers being answered. Jesus was called to do the work of He that sent Him. Everything else was extra.

You're called to do the work of He who sent you in Christ...everything else is extra. (Really good, worth the wait, amazing, above all you might ever ask or think...but extra)

Many believers often wonder why God does not reveal His entire plan to them all at once. One common reason is that it draws the faithful closer to Him, emphasizing the importance of relationship over mere knowledge. For instance, in Matthew 6:33 (NLT), it advises seeking the Kingdom of God above all else and living righteously. This insight resonates deeply—focusing on spiritual priorities allows for a more fulfilling life. Instead of seeking peace through information, true contentment comes from a deep, abiding relationship with God. By placing your trust and focus on Him, you can navigate uncertainties with faith. Remember, keeping your eyes on Him rather than on the circumstances ahead can lead to a greater sense of peace and purpose in your spiritual journey.

A digital image resembling an ancient scroll displays text asking, 'Are you really following the commandments of the Lord?'
