Here's a question for you (I'll need an answer soon for the sermon on Sunday!)
How do you discern the will of God?
Let me give you some ways I wrestle with it. . .
1. Prayer walk. I like to walk in the mornings, early, listening, searching and waiting for that sense of peace with a decision.
2. Bounce it off trusted Christian friends. There is something powerful when two or more gather in his name.
3. Look to where God is already at work, and then seek to join him (rather than asking God to join me in my hair brain ideas).
How about you? I'd like to suggest a few (anonymous) from the blog if you don't mind.
Peace,
Pastor Scott

I go on a hard bike ride on the open road alone. And once all my thoughts and challenges have run their course in my mind and body (unless He cuts through my "noise"), I sense a new topic, outlook, revelation emerges and boy do I listen. all those prior thoughts become so secondary. When this happens, I am totally emersed in receiving without much of my current physical awareness.
