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

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Proverbs 16:9

Sometimes it’s difficult discover God’s will for our life. We want to do His will, but there are so many different paths to take…how can we know? Take the following S-T-E-P-S in order to understand the best direction for you:

S- Seek intimacy with God. (John 15:4)
Do we really 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 God better.

T- Take in godly counsel. (Proverbs 19:20)
We can examine and follow the advice of our godly mentors. 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 your circumstances, but don’t rely on them. (Luke 14:28)
Sometimes 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 at times wobbly and unsure, but as we trust in the Scriptures—we will find peace in moving forward. The Lord will lead us as we lean on Him.

S- Sort out the bumps along the way. (Proverbs 4:26)
No path will be smooth everyday all the time. We need the bumps along the way to keep us close to the Savior. We remember that God is with us no matter what…even if you get off the road, He will steer you back in the right path.
