Lesson 2: Your Life is Yours—Walk Your Path
Your life is not their life, and their life is not yours.
We live in a world where opinions are everywhere. Everyone has their own way of doing things, their own beliefs, and their own journey. But the truth is, your calling, your purpose, your experiences, and even your adversities are uniquely yours.
God is using all of it to refine you and shine His light through you. And because of that, you may be judged, misunderstood, or even feel out of place. But your destiny was never meant to be a conference call—your journey is personal.
One of the enemy’s greatest weapons is distraction—getting you to focus on what everyone else is doing instead of what God has placed before you. If someone chooses to be vegan, eat meat, drink, be sober, believe in Jesus, pray, read the Word, party, or exercise—that’s their choice. Your responsibility is not to control their journey, but to focus on your own.
We see this in the story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). The rich man lived in luxury, while Lazarus suffered outside his gate. But in eternity, their positions were reversed. The rich man begged for someone to warn his brothers, but he was told:
“They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.”
Some people will only learn through experience, and some never will. You cannot control others—you can only choose how you live.
Practical Steps:
1️⃣ Stay Focused on Your Own Growth – Instead of worrying about others, ask: Am I growing spiritually, emotionally, and financially?
2️⃣ Release the Need to Control – You are not responsible for everyone’s choices. Let people live and grow at their own pace.
3️⃣ Be Inspired, But Don’t Idolize – Learn from others, but don’t place them above God. People will disappoint, but God never will.
4️⃣ Mind Your Own Business – While you’re busy trying to change others, you may be neglecting your own journey.
5️⃣ Choose Peace Over Proving a Point – You don’t have to argue or convince anyone. Live in such a way that your life speaks for itself.
Your life is a sacred journey, and only you can walk it. Stay focused. Keep your eyes on God. Trust the process.
As we continue this series, my prayer is that these lessons help you move forward with faith, clarity, and peace. You are on the path God designed for you—walk it boldly!
