Have you ever had a feeling that something was so very right and then, when you went ahead with your gut feeling, it ended up being very wrong?
Feelings lie and they change all the time. It could be in a form of relationship, new business ventures, job change, relocations, friendships and many to count. Surely, we also have heard many words of regrets that lament, “How can it be wrong when it feels so right?”
We will experience moments when everything feels completely right yet it could end up painfully wrong. Our feelings will mislead us and our instincts can fail us. We make choices that may seem harmless then wonder how we ended up struggling, confused or hurt.
The Bible, however, reminds us that real wisdom does not come from our own understanding. The Book of Proverbs encourages us to trust the Lord with all our heart and to seek His will in all we do. When we look to Him, Holy Spirit will guide us the path that leads to life. He will guide us in peace and not rush.
God wants to guide us. He wants to help us make wise decisions with our time, our efforts, our relationships and our futures. He does not hide His wisdom from us. He gives it generously when we ask.
Prayfully seek the Lord’s guidance and His wisdom as they will allow you to walk in favors, strength and peace. Open His Word and pray with an expectant heart. Let Him speak to your heart, the Lord is ready to guide and give us peace that surpasses all understanding in making any decisions.
James 1: 5 NIV
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
Philippians 4:7 NIV
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
