Bible Question: How does one come to understand what Gods will is for their life. |
Bible Answer: Greetings TrayCee! You have received good counsel! I wholeheartedly agree that the barometer of peace is a good indicator - Jesus, is the Prince of Peace, so when He is present in your circumstances, peace should be too. But what about those times when peace is absent? This is a call to respond - to pursue Christ and His righteousness. How do we do this? Prayer and fellowship with Him through His Word, relying upon the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. Stop striving to "know God's will" and trust that He will reveal it to you! The more desperate you become for God, the more you will realize that He is right there cheering you on to follow Him. Jesus is you biggest fan, He is at the right hand of the Father, interceeding for you! As you consider decisions or directions, some will be obvious - it this God-honoring and God glorifying? Other choices may not be so clear and will require the wisom of Solomon to discern and the patience of Job in the process. But remember that God gives you these gifts to enable you to know Him and to "wait" upon Him! Jer. 33: 3 'Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' Hope this helps! God bless you as you seek Him and His will for you! Mommapbs |
