People of Revelation

Joel 2: 28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.  Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Proverbs 29: ¹⁸  Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
Judges 21:25  In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

Graduation - a time for celebration!  A time to cast off on your own, free of the restraints of your parents and free to live a life on your own; to make your own decisions regarding right from wrong, to prioritize your own time, free from daily chores and parental rules and control.  It's important, however, when casting off those constraints, to remember the foundation upon which you are built.  You're either built upon the firm foundation of a relationship with Christ in which he has promised to fill you with His spirit which will provide guidance and revelation or you're build on the shifting sands of self-control in which there is no Lordship of Christ and you're doomed to do as you see fit.  As an old guy, I've seen so many youth with great potential strike out on their own only to flounder in a world of lies and deceit in which Satan has convinced everyone that happiness can be manufactured in spur-of-the-moment living.  Yet, I've seen others who get out on their own and blossom into responsible adults who hunger to do what is right, not in their own eyes, but in the eyes of the Lord.  Through prayer, study, and wise council, God, who has promised to not be difficult to be found for those who seek Him, has guided them and they are beginning to emerge into leadership positions in their homes, church, and community.  Some have married, had children and are focused on raising families with God as their first priority.  Although I see God in creation daily, I don't need the rocks to cry out, as I am beginning to see God in a pattern of physical and spiritual maturation raising up Godly young people to be responsible, stable, and well adjusted young adults who have yielded to Gods leadership and are thriving under his direction. 
Who controls your steps?  As you strike out on your own, do you look forward to being free from parental control and ready to do as you see fit or are you a little intimidated and recognize the need for divine guidance?  This is the time to begin building upon the foundation of your youth.  You have a choice to submit to divine leadership and continue to build upon the foundation built on the rock of Christ, or to do as you see fit and build on the shifting sands of daily whims and personal indulgence. 
Matthew 7:  “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Don't fall into the trap that you can make this stuff up as you go along.  Satan wants you to believe that you can make a plan, work the plan, and be successful.  Do you want to be fulfilled?  Content?  Filled with joy, peace, and the ready to face the trials which will be coming?  Be a person with the courage to enter through the narrow gate.  Be a person of divine revelation, led by God, not your own plans.  Proverbs 19:21  Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails
