How Can I
Know?
by
Barbara Philbrook
How can I
know God if this is my idea or something I wish to do,
or if it is an instruction given to me from you?
At times
I've cried out in desperation to you,
and your response was so clear that I never
doubted it was an answer nor that it was true.
Each day I
start off yielding Lord to you,
I ask for your guidance in all that I do.
I pray
that any thought deed or action done by me,
will bring Honor and Glory Precious Lord to thee.
My
question then Lord that I'm here to ask of you,
"how do I tell if a thought I have is mine or if it
is something you wish for me to do?"
Here is
the criteria by which one can measure each and
every task,
Is it something that will please God is the first thing
to ask.
Is this
action one that will bring Honor and Glory to God or to
you?
Or is it something that will get others to accept their
salvation as God desires them to?
As you
reveal your walk with God is it to bring Hope to another
who suffers too,
or is this just a pity party drawing others to sympathize
with you?
Does the
direction you are considering coincide with God's Holy
Word?
Or is the action you are considering one that could cause
an others vision to be blurred?
If each
and every one of these criteria are filled in such a way,
that Honor and Glory will be brought to the Lord
today.
You may go
about your work assured in a confident way,
knowing that indeed the Lord heard you this morning as
you knelt before him to pray.
