What is God's will for my Life - Daughters of the Creator

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.

Psalm 32:8

Have you ever been frustrated because you don’t know which way to go? God promises to show us the way and yet sometimes it’s difficult at times to discover His will for our life. Take the following S-T-E-P-S in order to understand the best direction:

S- Seek Intimacy with God. (John 15:4)
Do we want God more than we want His direction? Intimacy with God doesn’t happen overnight. True intimacy is developed over time with honest effort. Faith will compel us to set aside prayer time and Bible study to know Him better.

T- Take in godly counsel. (Proverbs 19:20)
We seek out godly advisors who are wise in their own decisions. They should be people of spiritual maturity without the pretense of religious hypocrisy. A godly advisor will always want God’s best for us over their personal preferences.

E- Examine our circumstances, but don’t rely on them. (Luke 14:28)
God can speak through our circumstances, but this calls for wisdom. The Holy Spirit will enlighten our hearts to the correct scripture for our situation. Our circumstances should always take second place to the leading of the Spirit and scriptures.

P- Pursue steps of faith. (James 2:26)
At some point in time, we have to take that step of faith by trusting in God. At first, we may be wobbly and unsure, but we learn to keep the scriptures foremost in our mind. God loves for His people to rest in His provision, protection, and peace.

S- Sort out the bumps along the way. (Proverbs 4:26)
No path will be smooth everyday all the time. We need bumps along the way to keep us close to the Savior. We remember God is with us even when we get off the road as He will steer us back in the right path.

God always answers our prayers with yes, no, or wait. As we mature in the Lord, we learn to have peace even if the answer isn’t what we expected.
