There are times in our lives that decisions are
presented to us, and we are not sure what direction to take. Sometimes we need
to step back from a situation to gain clarity.
If you are continually mulling over and over in your
mind what to do in a particular situation chances are you will get confused.
Confusion is not from God. Perhaps God does not want you to do anything, but
you feel that you should be doing something.
When we have decisions to make in our lives, if we can
it is best to wait and seek guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit gives wisdom and direction to those situations that we are just not able
to figure out on our own. The problem for many of us is that we don’t always believe
that it is Holy Spirit guiding us when our emotions
are telling us to do the opposite.
If you are unsure about making a certain decision,
allow some time for your emotions to subside as much as possible, and then
proceed with what gives you peace. Peace is a sure sign God is involved, while
confusion is a sure sign the enemy is involved.
There are those times in life you have to make quick decisions
because of an emergency, but if it is not an emergency and you do not know what
direction to take, wait and allow the peace of Jesus to direct you.
When the Holy Spirit guides you will know what path to
take and you will not need to figure out how to do so. The Holy Spirit leads
gently, without pressure, force, or in a hurried manner. When Holy Spirit leads,
He “solves the problem,” when the enemy is involved you feel the problem is “unsolvable,
burdensome, and overwhelming.”
Sometimes the direction we should take is not the
direction we think we should, but if we trust God, we can know that He knows what
would be best for us.
