God gives us our experiences to grant us the understanding we need to live the life he ordained for us. Our success comes with our ability to observe the laws, lessons and understandings that God shows us. So often, we follow others in an effort to be accepted or liked. Living life foolishly following any and every one could cause us to operate out of God's will for our lives. I would not dare suggest that following leaderships or our elders is out of order. God places people in our lives to direct us according to his word for our lives. However, everyone is not meant to lead you. And every person's understanding is not your lesson to be observed.
God spoke to the children of Isreal through Moses in Deuteronomy 4:5-9, concerning the laws he had given them. He directed them to be careful to observe the statutes he commanded.
If we fail to hold fast to our individual understandings by living under the influence of others, we may miss the move of God's calling for us. Not only does Moses command the people to keep the statutes, but he goes on to say to tell them to diligently keep themselves. When you keep God's law in mind and you observe the understandings he reveals, you will undoubtedly walk in his plan for your life. You will possess whatever promised land he destined for you. When we ignore God's laws and the lessons he has taught us, we say to him that we no longer trust him. We fall out of the line of duty. It is our job to hold on to our understanding of what God's wants for us. Getting the understanding is not optional. Knowing what God has for your hands to do is a requirement. Every Christian has the duty to submit to God, have faith in Jesus' resurrection and to spread the gospel. But, for most of us, that is just the tip of the iceberg for what God requires from us. If you don't know what it is that God requires of your hands, start with the lessons that he has taught you. Your purpose lies in the understanding God has given to you and only you.
