Learn to Wait
People often ask me, 'How can I know for sure whether I'm hearing from God or just making things up?'
I believe the answer is to learn to wait. With big decisions, we often
feel the need to hurry. We must do something and do it right now! But
godly wisdom tells us to wait until we have a clear picture of what we
are to do and when we are to do it.
We all need to develop the capacity to take a step back and view every
situation from God's perspective. Only then can we make decisions the
way He wants us to.
Strength is found in waiting. When you wait upon the Lord, you can sense
in your spirit what the Lord actually wants you to do, not what you
think He wants you to do.
When you are faced with any difficult decision, it is wise to wait until
you have a clear answer before taking a step you may regret. It might
feel uncomfortable and you may want to hurry, but don't allow that
pressure to take precedence over the wisdom and knowledge of God.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I don't want to get so caught up in the heat of
the moment that I make a decision I regret. Remind me to daily wait on
You. It might be difficult, but receiving Your wisdom and knowledge is
worth it.
