Be different!

1 John 5:14-15 Parents train their children to do many tasks—from knowing which clothes match to handling money.
As Christians, we are blessed to have an omniscient and mighty heavenly Father who is willing to make His way known to us.
He wants to reveal what to do in every situation and, in fact, promises this: ‘I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you’ (Psalm 32:8). Let’s explore how to discern God’s will at each crossroad of life.
The first step is to make sure that we have repented of all known sin in our life. Listening to the Lord while holding onto iniquity is like trying to use a foggy and unreadable compass.
After confessing and repenting, we can ask for direction. Next, we should read Scripture regularly with a seeking, open heart. The Bible is like a lamp on a dark path (Psalm 119:105).
The last step involves God’s indwelling Holy Spirit—the wonderful gift our Father has given each of His children. The Spirit provides truth and guidance as we read the Word and pray.
We should listen patiently for His leading, which is often communicated quietly to our heart as we spend time with the Father.
When asking the Lord to reveal His will, we shouldn’t expect instant answers. The discipline of waiting builds character, and besides, rushing the process may lead to a path that misses God’s best.
Take the time to seek Jesus’ plan for your life, remembering He’ll provide all you need to follow Him.
