Will of God ? How do people figure it out ?

Sometimes when we talk about the will of God in our lives. There are certain things that Christians try to ask in most of the decisions they make. Does God want me to do this ? Is this his plan for my life ? What if i am making a mistake in this ? This could be anything with respect to life: Jobs, Relationships, Ministry, etc.

“ Time is your friend, because with time comes clarity.“

“We say that time is ticking and I need to get on with it. Time is your friend and this is true in every arena where you are starting over and here’s why. When you’ve gone through something difficult, the truth is that you are out of balance. And before you make another life decision, you need to find balance.

Emotions are like a temperature….they go up and then they come down…..but oftentimes they do not come down as fast as they go up. You’re carrying a little anger. You’re carrying a little resentment. You’re carrying a little jealousy. You’re carrying stuff you don’t know about.

So, consequently, you’re a little bit off balance. You’re emotions are a little high. You’re still dealing with some pain. When you are in pain physically, you become very self-absorbed. When you’re in pain emotionally, you become very self-absorbed. It’s not your fault and you’re not even aware you are self-absorbed. It’s the nature of pain. We need people who will enter into our pain with us and let us tell our story over and over and over again. That’s just part of the healing process.

Self-absorbed people make self-absorbed decisions. You just do. You can’t help that. So, consequently, jumping into whatever is next before you’ve allowed the temperature to come down, before you’ve found your equilibrium, before you’ve found your balance is a dangerous thing.

When you are healthy, you have clarity. And when you have clarity, you make better decisions. Until you have clarity, you have no business making decisions. Time is your friend because with time comes clarity. And that takes time.

If you wait long enough, you will be able to hear things later on that you can’t hear now. There are some things you need to hear, but you can’t now and it’s not your fault. It’s just that you’re not ready to hear them. There are things you need to hear before you move on to whatever is next.

And not only are there things you need to hear a few weeks from now or a year from now, but there will be some people you’ll be able to hear a year from now that you’re not able to listen to today. There are some people who are trying to speak into your life right now and you just can’t hear them. It’s not that you don’t want to. You just can’t.

Time is your friend, but it feels like your enemy. The reason we rush is because we are convinced personally that our situation is different. Your circumstances may be unique, but you are not. Your challenges may see unique, but you are not. Your version of your story has been lived out before, but because you are emotional and you are feeling the pain, you’re just absorbed with it and you don’t even know it. You’re not in a position to make another decision.” — Andy Stanley

Wisdom is granted to you by God

Given that God grants wisdom to those who ask for wisdom. God cares about you and will provide you the wisdom you need. You are in-charge of your decisions and own the benefits and consequences of your decisions. God will never leave you nor forsake you. God meant it, he will be you through it all. Through your life, he will be with you. That means he is with you through all of your decisions as well. He is with you. He is in you. He will always constant throughout all the chaos that can happen in your life.

God grants your desires if in accordance with his will

Sometimes if i don’t hear concretely, i pray with “God if its your will may it happen, if not take it away”, Sometime ago, i changed it to “God i hope this works out if its in your will.”

One thing remains constant, God is my strength and inheritance forever.

“Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalms 73: 23–26

Nothing is more vital to you than God. It should be your top most priority. I’m not saying i’m perfect. I’m flawed. I acknowledge that God loves me even when i am at my worst. He loves me dearly. He left the 99 to find the one lost sheep. He came to find me. He deserves my all. Religion is not a way of life. To me religion doesn’t matter to me. Men bottle it up into a word. Christianity is a religion. NO … IT’s so much more than mans definition of it. Its depicts Gods love. What i believe is this “I love Christ”. I want to be his disciple. That means, doing whatever it takes to please God. But i fail, we all fail.

Hold onto the people who care most about you, and seek Counsel.

“Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel” (Prov. 27:9).

Seek the counsel of people who care most about you. But above all put God first and seek his counsel.
