Choose Freely

You want to know God's will. You're just afraid you'll miss it.

Should I propose or wait? Take the offer or stay put? Christian college or state school? Have another kid, or are we done? Saying yes to Jesus was the easy part. It's every question after that one that keeps you up at night.

The #1 thing people have asked about is understanding God's will. So in Week 1 of our new series, How to Know God's Will, Brad steps into teaching mode and zooms all the way out for us. 

Maybe you're so afraid of the wrong decision that you haven't made one at all. You've asked for a sign and heard nothing back. You're still waiting on a burning bush.

Or maybe the fear runs the other way. You already made the call, and now you wonder if it was the wrong one. There was one right person, one right school, one right city, and somewhere back there you missed it. Ever since, it's felt like you've been living in plan B.

Either way, this one's for you.

Because God never told you to find His will. He told you to understand it. And His will was always pointing to a Person. Look to Jesus, and God works all things, even the ones you got wrong, for good.

God's not asking you to crack a code. He's asking you to open a book.

Love God. Then choose freely.
