In Genesis chapter 12, Abram (Abraham) was told by
to leave his father’s teachings behind to move forward into his purpose.
This still applies today. This implies both
literally and figuratively, our parents do their best to teach us things that
will help form us into law abiding citizens and well-rounded people. However,
when it comes to the things of God, we can rely on our parent’s teachings
alone, we have to follow the word of God to.
A lot of times those things that our parents have taught
us are errors and we cannot accept those errors just because that’s what you
were taught. I use to say “well how was I supposed to know,I wasn’t raised like
that…” When I look back at that sentence
I realized that I was allowing what I was taught by my parents prevent me from
maturing in God.
Mama and Daddy aren’t always right,even though we still
have to respect and obey them as long as it does not interfere with what is
right in God’s eyes. You can not be limited to what you were taught by others,
you have to be able to learn and adapt to new things because in order to walk
the path to our purpose everything is not going to be familiar. For someone who
doesn’t like surprises and likes routine and familiarity like me, God will help
us branch out little by little according to what He knows we are capable of
handling.
I believe that it is important to know that your
walk/purpose may not be revealed to you until you are 90 years old, so don’t let
the fact that you haven’t discovered what you purpose is discourage you, just
know it will be revealed in due time and just stay focused on the Lord. I used
to think that I was so behind in life and in my walk because I wasn’t sure what
my purpose is, even to the point of anxiety that I wouldn’t find it. It was
reassuring to hear in church today, that we have no need to be in hurry or feel
left out because we haven’t found it yet.
Don’t give up hope and don’t let previous teachings
of our loved ones hinder our growth.
