Knowing God’s Will

In 10 Steps

3. Fervent faithful prayer for guidance

James 1:5-6

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

1 John 5:14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

4. Do what lies nearest you first!

John 16:12

“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.

John 16:12 

God has many things to tell us, but we can't bear them now.  Do what you can do and what you know to be correct, right now. Then He will show you what to do next.

Proverbs 3:6

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:6 

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Luke 16:10

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

Jeremiah 12:5

“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?

  (If you don't obey God in the small things how will you obey during the big test?)
