What to do, how to act and think.
If I cannot answer immediately, I pray/meditate or go back to the Bible basics. I find that the ten commandments is usually a good place to start. There are absolutes. Lying and Stealing, Killing are wrong. There is no gray areas. Lying to save someone's feelings, just taking from a nameless corporation, abortion are not OK! If I need something more I try to listen carefully to the parables in Christ's own words. The words may differ from Bible version to version but the basic meaning doesn't.
This view is at the 50 ft. level, day to day and frequently hour to hour. But to see how we fit into God's plan, we need to start backing up to see a higher overview. At 500 ft, I think this is a direction level; such as do I quit my job, get another, get married... Prayer and Meditation is still the best way to get any sort of answer or direction from God but I find that this usually takes more than one session whenever possible.
Self examination, know thyself, is also important at this level. I am amazed at the frequently that I learn new things about myself or what I can accomplish. This level is where growth or change can come from, beyond our 'comfort zone'.
