How do you know when God’s leading you somewhere new?

From day to day in our lives we're stuck with making new decisions. Should I take this

job? Should I attend this college? Should I date this guy? Should I hang out with this group of

people? So many questions and so many decisions. Wouldn't it just be easier if Jesus was sitting

by our side and giving us every answer without us having to decide it on our own? Of course, we

all do. But how do we know if God is really pushing us in a direction somewhere new? God

won't speak to us, and say, "you should do this." God is always changing your life to fulfill his

promise for you. The hardest part is knowing on where to take the first step, and really

experiencing change. When in reality, lots of us may not like change. I was recently going

through a season of my life where I just wasn't finding happiness. There was something that was

occurring in the back of my mind and thinking about moving forward in the next season of my

life, but first of all, I didn't know where to start and I certainly didn't know it was God pressing

on my heart for the past month. Instantly, I just prayed. I prayed for God to open up doors in my

life. I opened up my bible app on my phone and came across Hebrews 11. Which the daily verse

was Hebrews 11:6 (NLT) " And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants

to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him."

Then I caught myself reading the whole chapter of Hebrews 11. Then I knew, it was time. I knew

God was leading me somewhere new. In Hebrews 11, it talks about having faith in every

direction God is leading you, and always having faith in God. After that, God starting letting

everything in my life fall into place in the span of two days. If you are going through a season of

your life that you are not sure about, first of all ultimately pray about it. Then, always refer back

to scripture, that is where you will find all your answers. God is always going to push you in an

area of your life that is out of your comfort zone.God is always going to put you in a situation
that is going to be better for YOU. You may not want to, but when you decide to follow the

Lord's lead, his peace will fall over you and you will know you made the right decision. When

making decisions, you always have to put in the sense, "Will it benefit me?" and "Will it send me

in the direction of becoming more like Christ?" If the answer is yes, go for it. Always base your

decisions on becoming more like Jesus in everything you do.

Hebrews 12:1 (CEV) "So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, and we must be

determined to run the race that is ahead of us."
