What Do I Do When I Don’t Know What’s Next? | Richard Welsh

We often want to "sprinkle a bit of Jesus" onto our own plans, but true peace comes when we align our lives with His will. Join us as Ps. Richard unpacks why God’s plan for your life is infinitely better than anything you could design for yourself, and why we can trust the One who holds your future.=========================WHAT DO I DO WHEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S NEXT?Romans 12:2 ESVDon't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.Psalm 119:105 ESVYour word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.God often gives a lamp, not a map.GOD MAY GUIDE YOU BY CLOSING A DOORActs 16:6-7 ESVThey went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn't allow them.A closed door is not always rejection. Sometimes it is direction. Sometimes the Lord leads you by what He will not let you do.STAY FAITHFUL IN THE UNCLEAR SEASONActs 16:8 ESVPassing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.If you do not know the next big thing, do the next faithful thing.GOD KNOWS THE NEXT STEPSActs 16:9 ESVA vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”God is not confused about your next step.WHEN GOD MAKES IT CLEAR, OBEYActs 16:10 NIVWhen he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.Sometimes the reason you do not get step two, is because you have not obeyed step one.SURRENDER TO GODS WILLLuke 22:42 ESV“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”One of the most common issues in following God’s guidance, is surrender.=========================Connect with us:Web: mylifehouse.comInstagram: instagram.com/lifehouseglobal/Facebook: facebook.com/lifehouseglobalOther Podcasts:Want to listen to our messages in other languages?Lifehouse Japan (Japanese & English): https://lifehousejapan.captivate.fm/listen Lifehouse Hong Kong (Cantonese & English): https://lifehousehongkong.captivate.fm/listen
