How can a man understand his own way?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the Lord is directing your steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way?<\/p>\n

We all want to go somewhere in life. We sometimes intentionally or unintentionally plan our own strategy. Either way, you\u00a0should be asking, \u201cIs God directing my steps?\u201d or, \u201cAm I doing this in my own strength?\u201d<\/p>\n

The question is, “How can I be certain God is directing my steps?”<\/h3>\n

First,<\/strong> be honest with yourself. An honest heart is always seeking the kingdom for truth. Honesty is having an open heart towards God, so He can speak to you through your conscience, through friends, or through His Word.<\/p>\n

Fact,<\/strong> only those who need or want to go somewhere in life, seek direction. If you do not have a strategy or plan for the future, you have no interest in getting directions.<\/p>\n

A person who has no interest in going forward in life, has no plan or interest in directions. They rather live in their own world.<\/p>\n

To find out if God is directing your steps, you need to be honest with yourself. An honest heart is always looking for solid advancement and solid faith. The key here is honesty who you are, and where your at in life.<\/p>\n

You cannot move forward until this question is answered with total honesty.<\/p>\n

When you plan your vacation, you use a roadmap for directions. This determines your route.<\/p>\n

Life and business works the same. You need a specific, well planned, roadmap that determines your route to take you from where you are to your destination.<\/p>\n

If you allow God to direct your steps He will take you on the best route for your life. God\u2019s principles are trustworthy, faithful, and proven. God\u2019s ways may be new to you, but it has been established since the foundation of the world.<\/p>\n

Action Steps<\/h3>\n

Handing over your plans to God<\/h4>\n

It takes faith to trust God to direct you. You have to practice your faith walk to get the directions you need. You do not have to understand everything, because God knows the end.<\/p>\n

There are times in life when it feels like you are not going forward. During these times, stay alert and trust Him to show you the next step. Even if you do not see any road signs, keep trusting God to get you there by following the roadmap.<\/p>\n

Walk in the joy of the Lord in gladness<\/h4>\n

Now is the time to rejoice because God\u2019s promises for your life are becoming evident. You know where you are going and you are living in peace and harmony with yourself.<\/p>\n

It becomes easier to walk with God as you follow His roadmap, because you are learning to trust Him.<\/p>\n

Walk with a clear and clean conscience \u2013 Do what you know is right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will feel good about yourself when you are honest with yourself. You will feel free, unashamed, fearless and bold as a lion.<\/p>\n

Be cautious<\/strong> \u2013 Wrong doing will sear your conscience, which brings guilt and condemnation.<\/p>\n

Remember, God has a good history of making super heroes of people. He has won many battles in the past and He is still winning everyone today.<\/p>\n
