It can be tempting to wait for a moment where God splits the sky and explicitly says to us what we are to do next. And some people certainly have had that experience of specific, audible direction from God. But oftentimes, once we pray and seek out wisdom, we just need to step out in faith. The specific direction we’re looking for may come in different forms. It could be a word from a friend. Or a sudden letter in the mail. However, sadly many followers of Christ can end up needlessly stuck. Immobilized. Waiting for the call.

So here’s my suggestion if you’re feeling “stuck”- study God’s Word. Meditate on it. Memorize passages. We are told that the Bible contains everything that we need pertaining to life and godliness, in Second Peter. Everything! And I believe as you get to know God more through reading His word, and meditation, and prayer, you will have a better sense of where to go next. You know, God may not audibly speak to you and tell you exactly what to do, but that’s okay. Because God’s Word is living and active, it will speak to you in your own spirit (as Romans 8 teaches) concerning any situation or problem you may be facing.  So get on your knees today. Open your Bible. Let His word direct your steps and guide you in reaching your world.
