Picking up where we left off,  it may come as a surprise to hear that living your destiny is often NOT the will of God for your life.

Here is the second of four often-overlooked principles that can indicate when in life it is time to hold our call lightly or even let it go:

When you aren’t at the appropriate life stage

This may seem a bit harsh, but you will not enter into your convergent destiny role in your 20’s and possible even in your 30’s no matter how obedient and focused you are. At a younger age, you simply have not experienced enough to come into the fullness of what you are capable of. Again, God’s plan accounts for that. Everyone goes through a series of stages in the development of their call. Your twenties are the times to collect a wide range of experience; your thirties (and often forties) the season for inward refining. Overreaching for your life dream will not get you there any sooner! Relax, trust, and enjoy the ride.

Next up: When it’s time to sacrifice for your spouse’s calling.
