In my new message, I want to share with you the great need to make the decision to be guided by God. The Scriptures tell us that "those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God." If we really want to be children of God, then we must allow and allow God to guide us through his Spirit. We must remember that without God we are nothing. Outside God says the word that there is nothing good for me. So how can I be led by God?
You cannot move forward alone and make hasty decisions to solve your problems. You need a guide or a counselor to guide you in the hectic moments of life. Life is full of decisions, and if we want to make the right decisions, those that glorify God and benefit us, as well as others, we need God's guidance. The next seven words help us in the search for your address.
1. Clean.
We need to ask God: "Is there anything in my life that prevents me from hearing what you are saying? If so, show me." Our cleansing comes through our confession (1 Jn 1: 9).
2. Surrender.
We must submit to everything God commands us to do. Sometimes we find it difficult to move forward because we want to know the second step of God's will before completing the first. That is why we must surrender to the divine agenda and to God's guidance. Obeying God's will is an experience that makes us humble and at the same time elevates us (1 Peter 5: 6).
3. Order.
James 4: 2 ratifies it: "You don't have what you want, because you don't ask." God promises that if we ask according to his will, he listens to us. If we know that he is listening to us, we also know that he will answer us (1 Jn 5: 14-15), although it is possible that the answer comes in the course of time.
4. Meditate.
God promises that His Word will be light at our feet and light on our path (Psalm 119: 105), therefore, the more we think of His Word, the clearer our path to travel will be.
5. Faith.
In Mark's Gospel, we learn that when we ask him, we must believe that He will give us what we ask (Mr 11: 22-24). Therefore, trust that He will show you what to do.
6. Wait.
God promises to act in our favor when we wait for him (Isaiah 64: 4). If we get ahead of God, we try to fix things our way or manipulate circumstances, we will definitely end up disappointed. On the other hand, if we wait on the Lord, our sovereign and omnipotent God will act for us. The choice is ours.
7. Receive.
When we obediently seek God's will, we can be sure that He will listen to us and give us the wisdom we need to make the right decisions (Mt 7: 7-8; Stg 1: 5). As soon as we know his will, we are responsible for fulfilling his direction and obeying it completely.
You will find great peace and confidence in knowing that you are making decisions based on God's guidance. Perhaps no one else understands or agrees with his decision, but that will not matter because he will have heard of the One who is more important.
Consider these 7 important steps, which will allow you to seek God's guidance in the different decisions you must make to move forward successfully on your path.
