“therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is”Ephesians 5:15 (NKJV) 

Sometimes in life, you encounter people who become so engrossed in pursuing their dreams and plans that they believe their ideas are the best ever. They invest time and resources trying to make these plans work, but when things don’t go as expected, they become frustrated and confused. Despite their best efforts, they still don’t see results. This often happens because they never pause to ask if their pursuits align with God’s will for their lives.

In most cases, when people’s pursuits are not inspired by God, they end up struggling. As a Christian, it’s crucial to develop the habit of seeking the Lord’s will regarding important matters. When you’re familiar with God’s will, it becomes easier to follow His plan.

Life is deeply spiritual, and as such, you shouldn’t live ordinarily or make decisions based solely on worldly considerations. Instead, you must approach life from a spiritual perspective. This is why in everything you do, you should seek God’s guidance. 

Whether you’re considering ending or starting a relationship, venturing into a new business, or planning a journey, seek His will. When you know God’s will and follow it, you don’t struggle to get results because you’re involved in His divine plan for your life. 

By aligning your actions with God’s intentions, you set yourself on a path of purpose and fulfillment.

When you know God’s will and walk in it, you don’t struggle to get results because you are involved in God’s divine plan for your life.
