(1 Cor 14:33 NKJV) For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
Do you ever wonder how to tell when God is speaking to you? Do you sometimes have a hard time discerning between your own thoughts and the promptings of God?
Sometimes we need to make important decisions in our lives and we wrestle with which direction to go. We feel one way one minute and then we feel another way later the same day.
Sometimes we may feel complete peace and other times we might feel like we are in complete turmoil.
God’s word tells us that He is not the author of confusion, but of peace. He also tells us (2 Tim 1:7 NKJV) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
So if you are in a place where fear and confusion seem to be reigning, you can be pretty sure that God isn’t in that place. If you have peace in the midst of a major decision, you can be pretty sure you’re headed in the direction that God wants you to go.
Let me put it one more way that might help us get some clarity; If we are in a place where we need to make a major decision that can change our lives, and we can’t seem to find peace about the choice we’re leaning toward or might have already gone toward, God probably isn’t in favor of the direction we chose.
However, if you are contemplating a major decision or have made a major decision that can or will change your life, and you just seem to have peace about it, despite it being very major, you can be pretty sure that God is in favor of the path you’ve chosen.
Trust God and His leading.
