I just had a question about today's Bible study. Today the Bible study talked about being careful only to do things if God wants you to do them. But how far are you supposed to take this? Like, do I have to like pray and think for several weeks about whether to try a new sport or take a certain course in school? Or whether to buy something, etc.? This seems kind of stressful to me! It seems like this is obsessing over every little decision we make. I mean, we make so many decisions every day - how are we supposed to only do what God wants every single time?
Answer:I understand your frustration because I had the same feeling with this thought when I was younger. If you try and judge every single thing that you do like this it will drive you crazy because it’s too much for you. What you have to remember is that this is a process that will take your whole life to learn. All of us believers are on the same journey to learning how to apply this. If you learn to follow Him because following Him is how you are designed to live and His truth is meant to be the guiding force of your life He will guide you in your decision making. It starts with you saying yes to Him in leading your life. Once you allow Him to control your life direction He will lead you in the small decisions. It takes spiritual discipline to be sensitive to Him in the decisions you make, but it’s something you will develop as you follow Him. So think of this Rosalind, look to God first in your life. Ask God to lead you in your decision making. Keep in mind that He is very involved in your life and will lead you. Enjoy your life and what you have in front of you. If He wants you to go in a certain direction He will prompt your heart. If you’re confused take a step aside and look to Him and refocus. Also, keep in His Word. It is absolutely a must and He will help you.
Don't forget, if you have a question you can send it to me at asktheyouthpastor@xtrlive.com plus you can talk to us tonight at www.studenthopeline.com.
