You ever wonder why God doesn’t drop the key into your lap?

[jennifer_bloom]

Today I found a website that asked 8 guiding questions to help you find your purpose, and I realized that all 8 questions led me to the same career path but it’s not something that I think God has ever communicated to me in a dream or vision or prophetic sign, like I received many signs telling me to write books but none about my current career path that I discovered today.

I think God gave us a brain with logic. God wants us to think. So... If you came to that same conclusion 8 times bring it up to him in prayer

[Jjpayne]

Thank you for the mho 😊

What makes you think God didn't drop you into that website?

[FlutteringFeelings]

Experience builds strength and wisdom depending on what we decide to do with the lessons we’re being taught. God didn’t receive all the answers into his lap then why should we? He will eventually drop the key in your lap but you would have to make effort and meet him at the door. If he easily dropped the key into your lap you wouldn’t have the wisdom to know which route to take in order to find the right door where he’s waiting for you. God does miracles but he doesn’t move by our commands.


He is a God of his own mind and he doesn’t move by the commands of others not even Satan.
(Matthew 4:1-11): “At that time Jesus Christ as led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights and after was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.” (continue reading on in the given source if necessary.)


We aren’t forced to live a life but discernment allows us to choose the route that we believe is given from God or what we believe is best for us. You start the engine of a working car it’ll make a sound, you put it in reverse to back up then it’ll move, you have a destination then you’ll move the wheel.

Ignore the emoji it was an error. Wishing you the best.

I actually think I kind of covered this in another question you asked about the meaning of life.

I think again that you were given free will to decide for yourself. God is there to give you your faith and to set a path of doing the right things, but I dont believe God is going to tell you what career path to take.

Your life is your own to lead and you can do it whether you follow his word or not. Conversely I dont think 8 questions on a website should have any other bearing on it either. Do what you feel is right for you.

I once heard someone in my church say "if you ask for help from God to move a mountain, don't be surprised if he hands you a Shovel". I think God wants us to put our best effort towards the things we want and need and what we can't do he fills in the rest.

I personally am not religious anymore due to personal reasons, but when I was religious I often asked that same question. I still do ask "If god is so powerful, why doesn't he help me out?" The most logical answer I can give you is free will. God gave everyone free will and therefore you have the ability to choose and decide what you do with your life. God doesn't intervene with your decisions because they're yours, he's just there to provide guidance. If you're asking why he doesn't provide specific guidance, because free will, he's not telling you where to go but suggesting a path. You may see a career path that is fit for you but you may also see signs saying you should write, ask for extra guidance or maybe just do a bit of both, career for money, book for hobby.

Why would God go through the trouble of creating all existence, science and life itself with all its pain and challenges just to give you an easy way out of it?

If you don't go looking for your own answers, do you really deserve any?

[rgb008]

My god definitely drops into my lap on a daily basis. Not sure if it is a key, or something else. I feel it in the morning, afternoon, evening and even in my dreams. God is always with me! Feel his presence in ALL parts of me and in ALL places in my life. It’s so unique.

[dreamstar72]

Because if he did we would just drive off leaving him behind

[Ms_Vanderquack]

No, I don’t dwell on why imaginary people don’t in fact impact reality.

You're looking for purpose, islam is your answer, do your research and ponder upon the sky and all of his creations

[Caunsos]

As atheist i don't. We dont wonder about the behaviors of characters we don't think exists.

[Anonymous]

Why would he? God doesn't do shit for anyone randomly no matter how devout they are

[PaynefulPleasures]

What site was this, you have my curiosity?

[jennifer_bloom]

Do a Google search of “Scott Mautz 27 year study.”

[Wise4myage]

He's testing us to see what path we end up taking.

[Archerer]

That’s because there is no God Jennifer

[The_Outlaw]

From time to time.
