I want to Join the military, God told me No.

The military is all I have ever wanted to do since I was little. 2 weeks ago I Turned 17 I am eligible to join and idk what to do. I want to, but I also don’t want to do something God told me not to.

5 years ago when I first came to Christ & I asked Him could I, He told me No. I still haven’t come to terms with that & accepted that answer, I don’t want to I guess. Is that selfish? Perhaps. I don’t know honestly.

I just want to be great and make my parents proud I feel the Military is the best place for me to do that. I feel in my heart he wants me in Law Enforcement instead, as I feel He has pointed my heart in the direction of Law Enforcement instead, which is what I was thinking of doing when I’m out of the Army anyways. I don’t know what to do brothers + Sister of Christ. I’m confused & Lost. Please pray for me and drop your thought below thanks!
