Direction
How often have I sought God's will for my life, only to look back and say "I think I made the right choice". I have usually agreed to follow His direction when it agreed with what I had already considered as an option. Understanding and following God's will for specific paths in my life are not options- they are commands. The only way I can know with assurance what His will is for me is to submit to Him first. It's kind of like Jeopardy. I need to have the answer first : "Yes, Lord, I will do what you reveal to me is Your will. " Then, and only after He has received my answer, He gives me the question.
