When we go with our strengths it s like having the wind at our backs instead of in our face as we hike. Using our gifts in our work and our relationships brings success and enjoyment. The Bible offers us so much wisdom for living well. God s will for our character, lifestyle, and relationships is revealed throughout Scripture and following these principles helps us to make good decisions. Of course, we need to be sure to consider the whole counsel of God on a matter and not to take one verse out of context and use it as a directive.
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
Share your dreams and plans with people you trust and seek their input and encouragement. Sometimes God directs us through open or closed doors that seem to come from nowhere. When you re seeking God what may seem like chance is actually providence. Considering the welfare of other people family, friends, and others in need should be an important part of our decisions. It helps me to hear God if I go to Him in prayer, with pen and paper ready, and take some time to listen.
