God Shows Us His Will

~ Our heavenly Father is not the author of confusion, and He will provide the answers you seek.

Scripture Reading:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

When we believe we have heard from the Lord, it is important to ask clarifying questions:

• Is the message consistent with Scripture?

God will never tell you to do something that goes against His perfect, unchanging Word. If you feel called to take an action that is contrary to Scripture, you can be certain that it isn’t the Lord urging you.

• Can you confidently ask God to enable you to do this?

If you feel uneasy about asking for the Lord’s help and empowerment, that may be a sign the voice wasn’t God’s. We should be honored — not ashamed — to ask the Lord to equip us.

• Does it fit with your identity in Christ?

We are the children of God, who are being conformed into the likeness of Christ. If you feel led to do something that doesn’t reflect the image of Jesus, then you can be sure God hasn’t called you to do it.

Our heavenly Father will never leave His children on their own (Deuteronomy 31:6) — He is with each believer right now. Know that the Holy Spirit is present, enabling you to hear, and His voice will remain clear, no matter what questions you may have. There is no rush; when the Lord speaks, take your time listening to be certain you’re hearing from Him.
