25 Affirmations About God’s Will
June 5, 2009
Durng the Friday edition of “Christian Life Today” on American Family Radio, we talked about what it means to know and do God’s will. It’s been my experience that most Christians are sincere and truly want to do God’s will if only they could figure out what it is. And most people realize there is no easy answer to the question, “What does God want me to do?”
Sometimes we get tripped up because we want something God never promised. We want a detailed plan that tells us what to do in every situation. And of answering every question we might have, God says, “Trust me one step at a time.” Listed in no particular order, here are 25 affirmations that may help you sort things out.
1. God’s will is more like a sunrise than a sunburst.
2. It is also like a blueprint that unrolls a bit at a time.
3. God often speaks through the advice of wise Christian friends.
4. Dreams and visions can happen today, but don’t feel bad if you don’t have one.
