One of the ways that God frequently uses to speak to us is through the circumstances in our lives. It may not be as spectacular as an angelic visitation or a vision in the night, but it is one way that God often uses to give his guidance and thus reveals His will for our lives.
Reasons For Examining Our Life Situation
Is there a Scriptural basis for believing that God speaks to us through the circumstances in our lives? Yes. The Bible tells us that God is able to coordinate all the events in our lives for our good. It tells us that God directs the steps in our lives.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Another passage from the Bible re-inforces the truth that the circumstances in our lives are directed by God Himself:
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
Application:
Let's take time to examine the steps in our lives and prayerfully so that we can hear God's message to us through the circumstances that we find ourselves in. Let's not fret over the problems and difficulties in our lives. Let's seek His face and discover His will as our Shepherd leads us through the paths He chooses.
