Grow in discernment

When we try to understand God's will for our lives, one of the questions we must ask ourselves is: "Is there anything in this relationship or choice of career or work or friendship that will invalidate the Word of God according to the Scriptures?"

If the answer is yes, you know what to do. If the answer to that question is no, then the second question you should ask yourself is: «Do you want to marry him? Do you want to follow that career? Do you see yourself in that job or position? If so, then do it.

On the other hand, if what you would like to know is if there is another better girl, a better career choice or a better job for you in the world, then the Scriptures will not give you that specific kind of knowledge. This is not how the Word of God operates. You can marry whomever you want, only in the Lord. So if you want to spend the rest of your life with that person, he is a believer in Christ and is free to marry, do it. Just remember that it is for a lifetime. Keep the other principles in mind.

The same applies to a job, career or anything you can imagine. You must take into account all the principles: Is your heart subject to the Lordship of Jesus Christ? Is God your number one priority and his will is a matter of your interest? Are you following and applying God's principles regarding his will in your daily life? If the answer is yes, don't be paralyzed by what you don't know, but walk in the light of what you do know.

Also, my advice is that you get a good advisor. Talk to people who know you well, people who love you, love God and His Word. Talk with your parents; Learn from them. They will undoubtedly guide you and advise you on the matter. Listen carefully.

In conclusion,

Check your priorities. Your heart. If God is the number one priority and his will for you is a matter of your interest, then your heart is in a good place. Trust Him and rest assured that He will lead your way.

His will is found in his Word; The application of that Word to our individual lives, situations and decisions is clear, based on what the Scripture says or it will be a matter of discernment based on the principles found in the statements God has given us.

Get good advice from people who know you well, who love you and who love God and His Word.

My prayer is that God will guide you in every step you take and that, you will grow in discernment in the Lord!
