Listening to Our Heart
Not everything God asks us to do is going to make sense in our minds, which is why we need to learn how to go with what we sense in our hearts. If we don’t have peace about doing something, we shouldn’t do it. On the other hand, if we do have peace about something, we shouldn’t let anyone talk us out of it because they don’t understand. Even if we're the only one responding in a particular way, we must be bold enough to follow our hearts. That requires us to listen to what God tells us to do and do it, instead of trying to figure things out in our finite wisdom. The apostle Paul was a very educated man, but even he came to the point where he said he was determined to know nothing but Christ. (1 Cor. 2:2) God can help us to trust the peace He places in our hearts and give us the courage to follow His direction, even when we don’t understand.
