"Cause me to know the way in which I should walk." Psalm 143:8 NKJV
Many times, we have regular moments in our life when we just do not know the way forward. 'Where do we go from here,' we may call out to God? It can be a time of great confusion especially, when we have several decisions to make and they all seem to be the right one to take. When we are faced with such a dilemma, count the cost of each decision. Often we are tempted to take the easier route because it will be easier to tolerate; it won't cost us so much. This may be a good indication that if you choose this one, it may be the wrong decision. Often the things God has for us in life are more complex and are designed to test us. So be careful there.
The bottom line is though, we reach a time when we must ask God the way forward. It seems an obvious choice to make but, it can be one in which we may not like the answer we will receive from Him. We must be prepared for this. We must request His wisdom in faith and then, listen carefully for His voice. This is the hard bit, some of us can be so impatient for the answer and rush forward into chaos. God will always guide those who really want to follow Him. Psalm 32:8 tells us, 'I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.' However, also notice verse 9 which says, 'Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding' which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you.' Being stubborn is not good; whenever we refuse to submit to the Lord's commands, He may choose to guide us to do His will through the reigns of adversity. He wants us to delight in drawing near to Him, not fight against His perfect will.
So ask yourself, 'Do I really want to know and obey what God wants me to do? Am I willing to do whatever He requires of me? When you say to God, 'Show me what to do next Lord,' be sure that you mean it and are ready to carry out His wishes. If not, it is best not to ask until you feel ready to go forward. God does not mess about; He will take you at your word. So be sure that you want to go deeper with Him.
However, it must be said, that whenever we obey and honour God, He will pour out His blessing upon us. He is 100% for each of us so, there is nothing to fear. If you are wanting the next step with God, go to Him with full assurance that He will only show you what you are ordained for. You can trust Him.
