050 – How often do you ask God: What shall I do Lord?

Have you ever been in a situation when you didn't have a clue what to do next?

Sometimes it because everything happens at once and you just can't think straight. Other times a single, life-changing event turns everything upside down. It's like you're in a different universe all of a sudden.

Saul going to Damascus

That's what happened to Saul on the road to Damascus in Chapter 9 of Acts.

His familiar and carefully maintained world dissolved in a blinding light from heaven. He was in completely new territory. In humility, all he could say was, "Lord, what do you want me to do?"

In this weeks episode of The Bible Speaks to You Podcast, I talk about what can we learn from Saul and how he prayed about what he should do next?

Asking God for direction

Why do we usually try so hard to figure everything out for ourselves?

When we humbly ask God what He wants us to do, we will get an answer that's much better than anything we could ever come up with. But it's not enough just to ask God for direction. We have to do what we're told. Saul was told to go into Damascus and then be given more instructions. And he did the next things as well.

When you hear and obey God's voice, you're not done. That's just the beginning of hearing and following the purpose God has in store for you.
