When we have doubts or are facing difficulties, when others suggest courses of action that are conflicting, when caution dictates one approach but faith another, we should be still.
We should quiet each intruding person, calm ourselves in the sacred stillness of God’s presence, study His Word for guidance, and with true devotion focus our attention on Him.
We should lift our nature into the pure light radiating from His face, having an eagerness to know only what God our Lord will determine for us.
Soon He will reveal by His secret counsel a distinct and unmistakable sense of His direction.
It is unwise for a new believer to depend on this approach alone.
He should wait for circumstances to also confirm what God is revealing.
Yet Christians who have had many experiences in their walk with Him know the great value of secret fellowship with the Lord as a means of discerning His will.
Are you uncertain about which direction you should go?
Take your question to God and receive guidance from either the light of His smile or the cloud of His refusal.
You must get alone with Him, where the lights and the darknesses of this world cannot interfere and where the opinions of others cannot reach you.
You must also have the courage to wait in silent expectation, even when everyone around you is insisting on an immediate decision or action.
If you will do these things, the will of God will become clear to you.
And you will have a deeper concept of who He is, having more insight into His nature and His heart of love.
