March 6th 2012

Have you ever been in one of those situations where you felt completely helpless, you just have no idea what to do next?

Read James 1:5-7 and journal your thoughts

There are these times in our lives, no matter how old we are, or how wise we are, when we enter these situations where we have no idea what to do. Maybe it’s just something we have never had to deal with before. It’s like; you are not wise in this area of life. So pop quiz hot shot, what do you do?

It’s in these moments that we have to learn to humble ourselves, admit that we don’t know everything, and ask God to help. Sometimes it’s hard for us to ask for God’s help and actually expect Him to do something. The question so many of us wrestle with is how does God work? Without going into a ton of details, we should begin by asking ourselves a question; what are we doing to meet God in His work? For example, if we are asking for wisdom are we doing anything to meet God along the path to finding that answer? Or are we simply sitting back and waiting for God to divinely download all this information into our brains? Are you making time or space for God to answer you?

Sometimes we find this space by looking through the Scriptures. Then there are those times when you should go to ask someone for advice, someone who walks closely with God who you can trust. Then there are those times, like we talked about yesterday, when we should take a step back and see what God is doing in other situations around us. Are we aware of how God is speaking to us?

Today pray that God would make you aware of how He is speaking to you
