Avoiding the “Yes Mess” and Seeking Discernment- Episode #6

This week’s memory verse is James 1:5 where it says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”  If you are seeking direction when it comes to saying yes or when to say no, seek God first.  God may give you that clarity quickly and you will just know and then other times He will ask you to be patient and just wait.  While you are waiting, practice trusting Him and reading His word, just for the sake of getting to know Him better, not only to find the answer to your question.  As this verse says, He will give you wisdom and direction.  We just have to be open to it and willing to follow.

This week’s call to action is for you to practice giving up each yes and no to God, asking him for guidance and direction with each choice you make.  Start asking for God’s will to be first in your heart and not your own.  Ask him what He desires of you within your relationships, your work, and within your commitments.
