Seek His Will

When we are faced with very important decisions in our life who do we go to? We often times think that we can’t trust anyone to help us with the decisions in our life. But friends, Scripture is very clear that God can help us with those decisions in our life. Psalm 37:4 says “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.??? When we are searching for answers or direction from the Lord in the decisions of our life and we are in His word, then our desires will be the Lord desires. And, I believe that our decision making will become easier and clearer when we allow God to guide us.

When we talk about decision making we should go to the Lord and seek his wisdom and guidance however, we are also responsible for careful thinking and reasoning on our part when it comes to our decision making. We also need to seek godly counsel. It is always good to run what we are facing past our spiritual sisters and ask them what they think and share with them the direction we feel we should take.

Verse 6 of Proverbs 3 says “Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.??? Let me ask you, what is important to you? What do you see as your priorities in you life? What do you value in your life? Is God your priority?

It seems many of us are willing to allow God into the areas of our life that we perhaps feel we need help in, but we hesitate to allow Him into those areas that we feel in control of. But, God must be a vital part of everything we do. When we make Him that then I believe He will guide us because he sees that we are striving to accomplish HIS will in our lives.

Matthew 6:33 says “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously and he will give you everything you need.??? This verse is great when it comes to our decisions in life. You see, God knows exactly what we NEED. So when we go to Him and seek for his guidance and direction, He gives us everything we need. I love that our Lord knows what we need before we even ask.

I recently had an answer to a major decision that I had been praying about. I have to be honest, I didn’t like the answer and it has left me a bit confused. I go back to Matthew 6:33 and I read seek the Kingdom of God and I know in my heart that I did just that. I have to then believe that God has a reason for the way that he answered. Like me, you may not always like the answers that you get, but can I share something with you? As hard as it is to accept, God really does know what He is doing and we must learn to trust him and have faith that all will work out according to his purpose.

Ladies, what are the decisions you are facing in your life? Have you asked the Lord, have you sought godly counsel? Remember that when we seek Him first he will give us what we need. He will give us the answers to those decisions that we are facing. Just remember that if those answers come and we don’t fully understand why, find peace in the fact that God does know what He is doing!


Memorize this verse today:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."
~Proverbs 3:5-6
