Some years ago, I wrote this blog post: “8 Nuggets of Wisdom from My Mentors when You Can’t Figure Out God’s Will.” If you are seeking God’s direction, maybe those words will be helpful to you. In addition, hear these simple words from J.D. Greear:
Do you want God’s guidance? Live obedient to those things God has revealed. Seek humbly to obey his decrees. Obedience may lead you to some surprising and unwanted places, but you’ll know he’ll be there to protect and sustain you. Even when he leads you through the valley of the shadow of death, you’ll have the assurance that he is with you, and that with his rod he protects you and with his staff he guides you (Psalm 23:4).
