Everyday Advice from God

Should I do it? What do you think? Maybe I should put a poll out on social media?  Sure, it is wise to ask advice from others and in Proverbs 15 we can read that plans fail for lack of counsel but with many advisers they succeed.  But it’s also important to care most about what God thinks.  Often when we pray we make all these requests but then fail to wait and LISTEN. God knows your heart and loves you. He has the best advice.

In the Bible when Paul was talking to the Colossians, he told them that they could have a peace in their heart when a decision was made.  It’s important that we aren’t seeking the approval of others or just relying on our feelings.  God does answer us.  Sometimes the answer is “no” and sometimes we can’t hear because we tell God what we want and ask Him to bless it rather than asking Him if it’s a direction He even wants us to take.  Feelings come and go but the peace of God will remain…everyday.
