Clear As Mud

Sometimes it’s a real challenge to see God’s will. Even when you’re walking with Him by reading His Word on a regular basis, by being around other believers and bouncing ideas off of them, by going to God in prayer . . . sometimes it’s just a real challenge.

It may be understanding where He is leading—which may not be clear at all. Or maybe it’s clear, but it’s something that is difficult and makes you uncomfortable—forgiving a friend who has wounded you, taking a step in faith to pursue another career, relocating to another city, or other stressful decisions of life.

When you are having difficulty knowing what to do, ask God to make it clear to you and then follow your heart—after all, He’s the one who created you and gave you the passions you have.

And know this: clear or not, the Lord is leading . . . and is with you.

His Promises

Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

The LORD your God is living among you.

He is a mighty savior.

He will take delight in you with gladness.

With his love, he will calm all your fears.

He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.

This world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
