Many people today are in the habit of making decisions without a passing thought of seeking God’s input. They think that as long as they don’t lie, steal, commit adultery, or kill someone, they are in the will of God. They will make important life decisions based on common sense—or sometimes less than that! “I feel like it”; “My friends are doing it”; or even, “The world calls this success!” When God is left out of our decisions, we are not walking in faith…we are walking by sight. Instead of tapping into God’s great resources of wisdom, we rely upon simple human ideas. Just think about it…do you think the God who gave his own Son as a sacrifice for you doesn’t also care about other details of your life? A faith-filled believer will pray earnestly until he/she finds God’s will for every detail of their lives. Yes, every detail. Remember, the all-knowing Creator of the universe wants us to be in the very center of his will…not on the fringe or worse yet, out of it. God knows things we have no way of knowing. When we don’t inquire of the Lord and ask in faith for guidance, we miss what God wants to accomplish in us. God wants to show us His plan for our lives: for where we belong and were we don’t belong, but we must actively seek his will.
