Sometimes it is not easy discerning if the direction we are heading is truly God's will or rather if it is what we are desiring so much that we convince ourselves it is God's will. I think when we find ourselves wanting something very much, then we have to really examine our decision to pursue that course of action closely and ask God to affirm to us that we are moving not only according to our desire, but truly according to His will.
For our wants are driven from our understanding, and just as this verse tells us, our understanding is not foolproof or the deciding force for us as believers. Trusting in God with our whole hearts is what should guide our lives...allowing Him to move as He wills according to His timing.
Tonight I must be brief as I have a very early morning schedule tomorrow...but I am praying for me and for you that we will yield our lives to react only to the impulse of God's hand and to wait on Him...but when He does prompt us to act, that we have not a moment of hesitation in our response. It's a sensitivity that comes through a close relationship with God, and one that we should all strive for and pray for.
Lord, let me trust you completely, and keep me from moving on my own selfish desires. Let me look for Your hand moving in my life and follow the path that You are laying out for me. Thank You for loving me so much that you chart out the very best course for me to follow...keep my eyes and ears open so that I do not miss any part of the life that You have planned for me and the blessings that staying on Your course will bring. In Jesus name, I pray...Amen.

As I am growing in my relationship with God, and I pray also that I am responding to the Holy Spirit within me and not my own emotional state of mind. I am leaning on God to help me in my responses to the relationships I have here on earth. I praise God and proclaim my belief in Jesus Christ and his love for me. God has brought love and joy back into my heart. God leads me and shows me the path of righteousness.
