Without a goal, a desired end, we wouldn't know what we'd be doing. We wouldn't know what we'll be hoping for and working for. Life wouldn't be exciting.

Thankfully, God didn't leave us without a goal, a desired end. He didn't leave us alone to guess what we are here for. He didn't leave us to search for the path in the middle of a dark night.

He has given us His Word to tell us what we have to do, to give us direction.

Are you looking for direction, perhaps a clue or instruction that will tell you what to do? Here are some Bible passages that will help you.

Pursue Christ -- Philippians 3:12-14

"Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Do not conform to the world; rather, conform to God's Word -- Romans 12:1-2

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Live for Christ -- Colossians 3:1-3

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Preach Christ to everyone you know and don't know -- Mark 16:15-18

"And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.""

Make disciples of Christ -- Matthew 28:18-20

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen."
