A coach should be able to identify which training facilities are best for their athlete. Also know which races are best suited for them. They should also know under which conditions their athlete would excel the most … in this same manner God also knows where He wants you: where you’d be able to train the best (the right church for you) – which races (tasks) are best suited for you – and under which conditions you’d excel the most (the right place or environment in which He wants you. i.e. work, college, living conditions, place of residents , city to live in, etc.) – for where you’d excel the most in your event (calling)
Acts 16
6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. (let’s say you’ve identified what your calling is; and now have good intentions and good ideas to reach people with the gospel using your specific gifting, just like Paul did by wanting to preach in Asia – yet he was forbidden by the Holy Spirit to do so) 7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8 So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. (from this passage we can clearly see that God knows exactly where you need to be (which company to work at, which college to attend, where to live, etc.) in order to effectively fulfill your calling) - A few other examples of this can be seen in the life of Abraham, Isaac and Elijah
So once you’ve discovered your “event” my friend – the next thing is to ask God where you’ll best be able to excel in that “event”
Ephesians 2:10
10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
