As you seek direction

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you."  Psalm 32:8.
 
Are you in the middle of making a big decision and you need to know that it is God who is directing you?  The fact that you need to know means that you are aware that your ideas are not always perfect; your thoughts are not always positive; God is not always the source of your imagination.  Human beings are imperfect. We don't always hear, think, speak, and act perfectly.
 
The good news is that we don't have to just depend on ourselves for direction, stability, guidance, and confidence.  God has promised to instruct us, teach us, counsel us, and watch over us in our journey of decisions and actions.  With God's guidance, we can have confidence in His control of the outcome, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.
 
As you seek direction:
1) Pray.  God will lead, guide, and help you.
2) Seek wise counsel.  "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established." Proverb 15:22.
3) Wait for confirmation. "We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield." Psalm 33:20.
4) Keep listening.  "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17.
 
Kingdom Declaration:
I thank God for His continuous guidance in my life on my path of lasting success.
