2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.<\/p>\n

How do we know when we are in the will of God, taking steps of faith and not steps of presumption?<\/p>\n

Three words; there is peace.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t express this enough. No matter what steps we need to take, there will be a \u201cGod-given peace\u201d when it\u2019s Him.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t be challenging, because when we step out and do anything different than what we are used to doing, there will usually be that element of fear, insecurity, or nervousness\/anxiety.<\/p>\n

But if it is God, even in all those different emotions we feel, there will be a peace that surpasses all understanding.<\/p>\n

That is the Peace of God letting us know it will be OK, guarding us from our emotions that will bombard our heart and mind.<\/p>\n

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n

If we are feeling chaotic after stepping out in what we thought was faith, it’s a sure sign something is off.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ignore it and think it will get better over time.<\/p>\n

Whatever changes we made that could possibly have caused it, we need to undo as fast as we can so we can figure out what exactly happened, and why.<\/p>\n

There is much to be said about drawing close to God.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in moments like these that walking close to Him surely makes a difference. It can literally save us from making huge mistakes or wasting a lot of time on things that weren’t ours in the first place.<\/p>\n

Some may ask, “do we just step out in faith even if we are not sure it\u2019s God?”.<\/p>\n

If we just step out and do whatever we want, without being prayerful and waiting on God, we are not walking by faith. Rather, it is presumption.<\/p>\n

We need to wait fully on Him and make sure it is what He wants us to do.<\/p>\n

If we wait on Him, He strengthens our hearts to take the step He puts in front of us. Even though it’s a step of faith on our part, He goes before us and helps us through it all.<\/p>\n

Psalms 27:14 (NKJV) 14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!<\/p>\n

We don’t want to confuse faith with presumption. Wait on the Lord, and He will guide us.<\/p>\n
