Discerning God’s Leading

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Psalm 27:14

“Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.” Psalm 37:34

Often, while we are in a struggle, the enemy comes quickly with a response that may be a misrepresentation of Sscripture we are reading to get us to make hasty decisions

Wait patiently upon the Lord.

God is never in a hurry to fulfill His purposes in or with our lives, as we are sometimes prone to think.

Humbly submit all of your own wants, desires and thoughts to the obedience of God’s Word.

Do not give in to “spiritual sounding” advice without confirming the whole truth of it by the Word.

Crucify all the desires of the flesh that might come in and seduce you into thinking that a certain direction is right because it feels good.

Be willing to do, what you least want.

Be sure that by going in one direction you are not running away from something that God is wanting to teach you or use you in by going in the other way.

Trust in the leading of the Spirit of God, who will never lead you contrary to the Word of God.

Be willing to trust His leading no matter what your feelings or anyone else has to say.

While waiting for a clear and defined direction, do all that you continue to do where you are, with all your heart, mind, soul and strength unto the Lord and glorify Him.

Wait upon The Lord.

“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. 27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.” Lamentations 3:25-27
