Matt Answers Monster Questions: How do I know when to wait for God to lead or to figure things out for myself?
I think a lot of people talk about waiting to hear from God to either do what they want to do or to not do the things that they know they should do.
We are not automatons (mindless robots) waiting for the next instruction from God. We should be in a relationship with God. People who are in a relationship are in communication and will know what actions:
- Enrich the relationship
- Erode the relationship
- Have no effect on the relationship
The best way to get on the same page with God is to:
- Serve others: in your home and at your job.
- Give your honors to God: your titles, your accomplishments, your status.
- Let go of material things: Identify the thing that you value the most and ask yourself if you could give it away.
- Meet with others who want to know God.
- Study God’s word.
- Pray.
