Step out and find out

**Joyce Meyer

People often ask me how to find their place in ministry. Some spend many years waiting to hear a voice or to receive supernatural direction. I tell them to step put and find out.

Early in my journey with God, I wanted to serve Him. I felt He had placed a call on my life but I did not know exactly what to do, so I tried different opportunities that were available.

A lot of them did not work out for me, but I kept trying different ones until I found an area that fit me. I finally came alive inside when I had an opportunity to share the Word with people. I found joy in teaching, and it was obvious I was good at it. I knew then that I had found my place in ministry.

Sometimes the only way to discover God's will is to practise what I call "Stepping out and finding out." If you have prayed about a situation and do not seem to know what you should do, take a step of faith. Do not be afraid of making a mistake. Step out and God will guide you.

Prayer starter: God, I trust You, and I know that You will direct my steps, so I am not afraid to step out and find out what You have for me.

Proverbs 16:9

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.
