I Don't Know What To Do for God

It is common for Christians to be excited about their faith and desire to serve and please the Lord. However, for most, it isn't exactly clear WHAT God is asking them to do. To discover the solution we need to begin to line our perspective up with God's perspective.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. - Isaiah 55:8-9 NASB

The Dilemma

"I would do what God wants me to do but I just don't know what He wants!"

"What does God want me to do?"

This is a fair question. It's the right question! We also want to be sure we don't get down the road 20 years and still be asking it. So let's get it answered by getting our perspective in line with the Lord.

The Solution

Find out what God is doing, then you will discover what you are supposed to do.

Find out what God is doing, then you will discover what you are supposed to do.


Our Father has a plan that started before time began. He mapped out the past, today, the rest of time and He also indicates that there are many ages to come. Some events and milestones we only have little information concerning. Others, we have an extraordinary amount of information about. The scriptures give us a fantastic overview of what God is doing and His purpose. Our job is to get in on what He is doing.

The Process

The bible is an overview of God's plan and when you first look inside, it is much like using the directory at the mall. The first thing you look for is, You Are Here. In bible terms that means finding out who you are in Christ. God doesn't see you like you see yourself. Find out what he knows about you!

So this all begs the question, "What is God doing?" This is the journey we are on. Let's discover who God is, how He sees us and what He is doing. Then we will learn to use the gifts he has blessed us with and perform the function we were made for.

It is a process. There are no shortcuts. Be patient. Be persistent. The answers will come and now we have a starting place.

Armor of God | Watchful Perseverance

Image
The armor of God has been a topic that has been difficult to get our minds wrapped around. What it is and how we put it on, has seemed to be a bit mysterious. So maybe by looking at the effect of the armor we can get a better understanding of how to put the armor on. We previously looked at  The Word of God , so let's take the next piece. We're leaving in,  The Effect of Armor,  section here for continuity. The Effect of Armor The most prominent place the armor of God is listed is in  Ephesians 6:14-18 NKJV .  Each piece of armor has an effect. Since it is spiritual armor, and we are physically oriented, it can be difficult to understand what is happening when we have it on. One of the things we know about armor is that once we are in the battle, we shouldn't have to think about the armor. It will passively protect us and we shouldn't have to give it another thought. We inspect, test and repair the armor on a regular basis and ensure it is fitted corr

Galvanize Your Heart

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. What and how you think about life is extremely important. There is also another aspect of thinking that needs to be considered as well. That would be the priority of thinking. The scripture in Romans 12:2 NLT  does not ask us to change the way we feel. We need to change the way we think. Thinking is the part of your heart that the Lord is working on. So let's put a high priority on how we think. Pray. Think first. The emotions support and reinforce our resolve. The body gets us there and does the physical work. God is glorified. Think Like Jesus Thinks So what and how do we think? Have you ever noticed that when Jesus answered a question, he either asked another question back or answered the question they should have asked to find salvation? Jesus certainly did answer their question but more importantly He would first give another answer to a question they did not ask, but they should have. The q
