We can know God’s will in the grand, overarching plan He has for us. We can learn to hear Him out the great crossroads of our lives and in the smallest details
As we journey forward, seeking assurance of His will for us, we ask ourselves the following questions carefully and prayerfully:
- Is it consistent with the word of God?
- Is this a wise decision?
- Can I honestly ask God to enable me to achieve this goal?
- Do I have genuine peace about this path?
- Is this decision appropriate for who I am as a follower of Christ?
- Does this fit God’s overall plan for my life?
- Will this decision honour God?
When you can say “yes” to these seven questions, you will know you’ve confirmed God’s will. If you can’t answer these questions right away, don’t get frustrated.
You may run a decision or a course of action through these questions several times before you know God’s will for sure. But in time, the Father will make it crystal clear, if you are on the right path or if your course needs adjustment. You can always trust God to speak to you.
Jeremiah 29: 10 – 14
“For thus says the LORD, after seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me and I will listen to you
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
