Seeking God's Will

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have are monthly contributor Meg sharing her heart on this month's theme Seeking God. You can learn more about Meg and her blog on the about page. 



Do you ever feel stuck, searching for God’s will on something?

Maybe it’s a job situation, to take a promotion, or not to take a promotion.

Or a move to a new place.

What courses to study at school?

I think a lot of times we allow ourselves to maybe hide behind the idea that we’re “seeking God’s will” on something… but when really, God can move in whatever we do.

Yes, God can be and many times is involved in very seemingly minute details of our lives, but sometimes, God seems to sit back and let us have more free will and do what we think is best.

The key to those times, when it feels like God is being more silent, is to remember the truth that He speaks through scripture. We know from verses like  2 Thessalonians 3:5 that  the Lord directs our hearts. “May the Lord rdirect your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.”

Sometimes seeking God in the midst of hard times doesn’t have to be a clear, word from “above” thing. Sometimes it’s resting in the truth you’ve always known about him. The steadfastness of Christ.

As long as you’re walking along your path in the right direction, God can and will use whatever situation you’re in to further his Gospel.

Don’t get bogged down in making the right decisions or finding his exact will for something. Remember… He doesn’t need you. You need Him.

    This was a really timely word of encouragement for me! We just made the decision to buy a house, and there was a lot of praying and wondering but not a lot of hearing. We feel peace about the decision, but signing up to pay $100,000 for the next 15-30 years is kind of a decision that you want to hear from God more concretely on. lol. But I remember that God uses all things for good. Regardless of the decisions we make, when we set our hearts to pursue Him, He'll use whatever circumstance we are in.
    This post, especially this line "Don’t get bogged down in making the right decisions or finding his exact will for something. Remember… He doesn’t need you. You need Him." Was so reassuring of that. Like you said, turn back to the faithful truth of Christ.
    Thanks!

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
