Clear Direction From God Is Found In Our Obedience

3 Third, we are to acknowledge God in all our ways. This isn’t simply a matter of declaring our faith or declaring that He is God. It means living in surrender to the absolute sovereign will of God. It means accepting that God knows best, that His ways are perfect, that His purposes are all that matters. It means laying down self and living in obedience, even when nothing seems to makes sense. It means accepting that only He has the right to choose our path, and that self is utterly irrelevant. Acknowledging God’s sovereignty in everything is often the greatest difficulty, the strongest blockage to hearing clear direction from God. When self is still rampant, God’s still, small voice cannot be heard. Self needs to be trained to step back and acknowledge that God is sovereign in every aspect of our lives.
