Certain Certainties

There are things you can be sure of when you seek God's will with a pure heart: Certain certainties.
God will give you...Direction. He will lead you. Ps. 32:8 I will lead you in the way you are to go. J.I. Packer wrote, "The Holy Spirit is given to all Christians to transform them by his teaching, making them into God-focused thinkers and equipping them to discern his will and make decisions accordingly. They do this by rational reflection on their life-situation, helped by wise and godly advice, within the parameters that the Word of God establishes. The idea that the superior path in matters of guidance is to wait passively before God for direct promptings to action to come into one’s mind is a mistake. So is the superstitious notion that failure to discern the specifics of God’s vocational guidance sentences one irrevocably to a second-best life, with no restoration possible."

God will also give you...Confirmation. He will confirm it to you. Is. 32:21 your ears will hear a word behind you, this is the way walk in it, whenever you tuen to the right or left. You will have peace. Phil. 4:6-7.

God is also going to give you... Assurance. He will reassure you. If you doubt you should do something, don't do it. If you think you shouldn't do something, don't. How do you counteract doubt? Depend On Unchanging Biblical Truth. How do you really know you are supposed to do something? We always want to know the 'right' thing to do. Sometimes it is a toss-up, especially when you see sincere, intelligent, thinking, prayerful, Biblically- based, gospel-saturated Christians doing something other than we think is the 'right' thing? Trust God and act.

God wants us to know His will so that we might do His will and glorify Him.
