Take Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desire of your heart. Psalm 37:4

_Source

Do you have desire in your heart? Are they in line with the will of God? Clearly, some desires are Godly and others aren’t and ungodly desires are almost always a perversion of godly ones.

There are so many things that are good and holy in and of themselves, but if they are mishandled they become extremely dangerous. Think about water. No human being can survive for long without water. And yet the International Life Saving Federation says as many as 1.2 million people drown every year around the world. That’s more than two people every minute.

It seems that every good God or desire God gives to sustain and enhance the life can be perverted and turned into something destructive. This is just one important reason why its so important to follow Gods will in everything you do.

What does God want you to do? God gave us all different talents and abilities become we all have unique paths to follow and unique purpose to fulfill. He expects us to work together in harmony to carry out His purposes.

Here are four important means God uses to reveal His plans for us.

BIBLE

This does not mean that you open the Bible at random an dpoint to a verse (this is what I did in my younger years). Obviously that does not the way to use the Bible. The bible will help you by revealing God’s will in a general sense. The best way to know for sure what is right or wrong for you is to study the Bible. IF you have a hard time squaring your life plans with God’s Word its probably time to rethink the path you're in.

PRAYER

Prayer involves not only talking to God but listening to Him as well. There are ways how to pray but the best is sitting before Him in silence, waiting to hear His voice. Ask him for directions and He will provide it. The important thing is to know that God is concerned about you and will respond if you ask Him to.

Wise counsel of others

This doesn’t mean were supposed to follow every bit of advice that comes our way. We should test everything against the Word of God for confirmation.Much of the well meaning advice our friends gives us is worthless. Far often our friends only tell us what they think we want to hear. But we all need to have people in our lives who are willing to tell us the truth whether or not we want to hear it.

Circumstances

Many times God speaks through the circumstances that come into our lives. But we'll never know it, if we don’t keep our eyes and ears open.
Heres an important point to remember. Never rely on circumstances alone. Your present situation is merely one of the indicators that can show whether youre moving in the right direction. You shouldn’t let circumstances alone hold you back from moving forward if every other indicator says. Go Nor shpuld you decide to move forward based on circumstances alone, if every other indicator satys Stop.
If everything else line up the desire of your heart , your talents and abilities, counsel from people you trust, God s word and prayer. Then look for circumstances to line up as well, and for God to open up a way for you to move ahead in the path Hes chosen for you.

LIVE. Love. Fun.
