How to Make Decisions God’s Way

Is that God? Or is that me?

You’ve got a decision in front of you and you really want to get it right. You’ve prayed about it. Read your Bible. Asked people you trust. And you’re still not sure. Take the job, or stay? Go for it with this person, or wait? Start the business, or keep the paycheck? At this point you’d take any sign at all.

And you keep second-guessing every nudge. Was that the Holy Spirit, or just what you wanted to hear? Was that peace, or was that fear? When both options look good, how are you supposed to know which one is God’s?

Maybe you walked through a door you were sure He opened, and it’s been hard ever since. Now you’re wondering if you missed Him. Or maybe you’ve been asking for so long without hearing anything that you’ve quietly stopped expecting an answer.

God isn’t hiding His will from you. And He isn’t as hard to hear as it feels right now.

In Week 2 of our series, How to Know God’s Will, Brad gets practical about how God actually leads: three questions you can bring to any decision, and what to do when heaven feels silent.

Bring the decision you’re carrying. God is still speaking.
