"LEAD ME, O LORD...MAKE YOUR WAY STRAIGHT BEFORE MY FACE." (PS 5:8 NKJV)
Just Drive, And Let God Direct You!
Hanna Whitall Smith, writes: "God's voice will always be in harmony with itself, regardless of how many ways He may speak. The voices may be many, the massage can be but one. If God tells me in one voice to do, or leave undone anything, He cannot possibly tell me the opposite in another voice...therefore my rule for distinguishing the voice of God would be to bring it to the test of harmony." To know that you're being led by God you must: (1) Believe that He has a plan for you life; (2) Spend time in prayer asking Him to reveal it; (3) Step out and obey Him, even though He doesn't tell you all you'd like to know; (4) Be confident that even in difficult times He's still directing your steps. During the making of Ben-Hur, Charlton Heston trained long hours to drive a chariot for the movie's big chariot race. He improved greatly, but he became convinced that the task was more than he could handle. So he approached the legendary movie director Cecil B. DeMille and said, "I've worked hard as mastering this rig, I think I can drive it convincingly in the scene, but I don't think I can win the race." After a moment's silence DeMille smile and said, "You just drive, I'll direct." He did, and the chariot race became on of the movie's most memorable highlights. You don't need all the answers, you only need to know you've fully obeyed the instructions God gave you. One you know that, just drive, and let Him direct you.
