I agree—God expects us to act and not sit back out of fear. He isn’t playing a game with us to hide his will from us. He wants us to seek him in prayer, to apply his word, to act in accordance with his character, and to seek godly counsel—and then to move on, not waiting on some sign or feeling. He is capable of stopping us if we choose the wrong path after genuinely seeking his will.
However, when God sends us warnings that we ignore or when we fail to seek his guidance, we can’t expect him to stop us. People pray for closed doors, but generally he gives wisdom instead of closed doors. We must take time to listen and seek counsel from his word and his people instead of seeking a shortcut—a closed door.
Yesterday a friend asked me why I am writing a book.
