What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do!

We all know what it is like to seek to know God’s will in a matter, desiring to do it His way, but having no clue what to do! You know the feeling don’t you? This is bigger than deciding which flavor of ice cream to have. Sometimes it is a crossroads, a change in life, a new season and the decision is overwhelming. Other times there seems to be no answer and no choice, yet life demands a decision. It is gut wrenching when neither choice seems to be good or right, and the only outcome we can see is disaster. We are tossed back and forth wondering what to do. It is in times like this that “we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen”. 2 Corinthians 4:18.

So what do we do, when we don’t know what to do?

God’s path for our life is not meant to be a guessing game. He longs for us to know Him personally through all of our paths in life. There is a caution that we not just seek the answers but seek God who holds all the answers. It is in the seeking that we come to know this mighty God that we call Lord, Shepherd, Savior, Friend.

Tucked away in the pages of His word, is the guidance we need in every situation. Let His words encourage you and guide you. You may not feel that you need it today, but I can promise you will need it soon.
