God works in mysterious ways. He won’t always scream out the answer loudly for you to hear. Instead, you have to actively listen for Him, watch out for signs and look for cues. Continue to study and pray, keeping an eye open for any insight from God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. Stay quiet and meditate in these moments so you can really hear God. Remember that God will never tell you to do something that is against His righteous character or contradictory to His Word. Ignore any voices you might be hearing from the enemy, that will try to lead you on a path away from God’s Will. God’s Word is powerful, and it has clear specifications about what God would and wouldn’t want us to do.
