God Our Guide

​"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."
(Psalms 27:14 KJV)

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
(Jeremiah 33:3 KJV)
 
Life is full of decisions we must make.  Our Awesome God has promised to help us make wise decisions.  He wants us to ask Him, being as detailed as we can, while letting Him make the final decision.  If you don't intend to follow God's advice, don't ask Him, because He will know you won't do as He advises.  It is always a good idea to find what the Bible says on your subject.  You need to see how God usually answers a request such as yours.  Pray about it!   Then prepare yourself because Our Awesome God wants you to ask so He can answer. 

There are several things to do: 1) Confess all your sins you haven't already asked God to forgive (1 John 1:9), 2) submit yourself to His decision (1 Peter 5:6), 3) believe that God will give you your request (Mark 11: 22), 4) Ask according to His will for your request to be done (1 John 5:14-15) and then 5) wait for His answer, it will come
but we don't know when.  Be sure to thank Him and praise Him for His answer!

Our Awesome God wants to guide you through the snares of life on earth.  That is why He put you here.   God put that snare there or allowed it to be there for a purpose, to help you.  When God answers, you should feel great peace and confidence in knowing God is guiding you.  It is possible that no one else will agree with your decision but, if you did what God told you - what does it matter what others think?  If He says it, do it, just be sure He answered and it is not your own wants.  God knows what will work best.

The ultimate purpose we should be seeking is Our Awesome God guiding us in every decision we make for all eternity.   We need His wisdom, His knowledge, His mercy for all, His grace, His patience, His faithfulness and His love.   When we get His guidance, we know we are doing what He wants and that He will have the correct way for us to go.   Praise Him and thank Him!
