And isn’t that what we desire most? God amazes me again and again with His faithfulness through circumstances that seem impossible. Instead of giving time and energy to the what-ifs, we can remind ourselves that an unsure outcome opens the door for God to be glorified in our situation. Know God’s plan may go against what makes sense to us. Our focus becomes how we live our lives for God, not how He answers our prayers. When we bring our focus back to the simplicity of God’s will for us, we suddenly lose the urgency of having to decide right now. These three actions will cast aside all the distractions of our runaway thoughts. “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus,” ( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). God’s Word offers simple steps to follow for those who seek His will. Instead of making it complicated, focus on the simplicity of God’s will. John 16:30says, “The Spirit will guide you into all truth.” So even if I don’t have a definite answer, I can trust that the Spirit in me provides what I need to make any decision with clarity and a steadfast heart. Because of His deep love for us, He sent the Holy Spirit to be our Comforter and Guide. When this happens, we need to remember the moment we invited Jesus Christ into our lives. In the quiet waiting, it’s easy to let our minds wander into a whirlwind of questions and concerns. Sometimes we will not hear God’s audible voice offering the direction we seek. When you ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, trust He will.
#Gods plan bible verse how to#
But through our experience, I discovered life-changing truths in God’s Word to help me understand His plan for my life, and how to follow it with confidence. It caused me to question: how could we have been so sure this was God’s will? If He really brought us here, why would this happen? I wondered whether or not I even knew how to follow God’s plan. This turn of events hit hard, leaving us with the uncertainty of unemployment while providing for a new baby. The start-up company that offered my husband the job closed its doors.
But after loading up the family and hauling everything we owned 700 miles to our new home, we never expected to face this. We could finally breathe a little easier. Not only would it bring us close to our home church again, we’d also have friends and relatives around to help out. After two trips to the hospital with our newborn and six weeks of sleepless nights, it looked like this open door for a different job was an answer to prayer. We’d sought wise counsel from a trusted friend. Had we made a huge mistake? We’d prayed about this job opportunity. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts,’” ( Isaiah 55:8-9). “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord.
