We have all heard it said in regards to making decisions, that there comes a time when:
"We must follow our heart."
When it comes to doing the right thing, what is our heart telling us?
But we are told in Scripture to "not lean on our own understanding"
(Proverbs 3:5) but to follow God's guidance.
Then the question comes: "What is God wanting me to do in this specific situation?
I believe that when we put all our selfish motives away, that cloud our thinking, we will be better able to come to an understanding of what God's will is for us. The nation of Israel needed to repent, and turn away from idol worship. They needed to place self aside, and then be sensitive to hear the Word of the Lord behind them, saying "This is the way, walk in it" (v.21)
It's not easy to know the will of God. But it will be made easier, when we humble ourselves, and submit to the teachings, and providence of God.
The more that we seek the wisdom of God, the more likely we will understand, what He has for us to know, and to do.
And open heart to God's Word, leads to a productive life. So today, let's commit to allowing the Word of God to speak to our challenging situations. What we cannot fix, God can, and will, if only we will trust in His wisdom, and guidance, instead of our own. GP
