When you have a big decision to make in your life and you seek help from God, how do you know what he is saying to you?
Big decisions like choosing what college to go to, who to marry, and what career path to take would all be more effective if we seek and receive input from a higher source than our self.
God’s pattern for teaching us is line upon line, precept on precept. It’s rare that there is a single BIG EVENT that defines what we are to do. His pattern is to show us a little, then a little more. As we learn more we get more.
Follow these steps in this order to learn to understand what we need to know: desire, seek, ask, discern, hear, and obey. Repeat.
- New Era September 2010, ‘Line upon Line, Precept upon Precept’, David Bednar
