Waiting on God's voice proves extremely difficult at times. I have experienced impatience, frustration, confusion and much more as I expectantly wait for an answer. It's almost as if I cannot make a move until I know God has pointed a beacon of light in the direction He wishes me to travel.
After reading these verses in Proverbs, I realized I need to cast away fear of moving forward when waiting.
Proverbs 4:23-27 ~ "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil."
God knows the desires of your heart, and He knows you desire to follow Him. If you are continually fixing your eyes on Him, He will not send you down a crooked path.
This passage makes it appear simple, but in some ways, it is simple. If we refuse to mess around with corruption and ways that aren't firm, then we can rest in the fact that God will help guard our hearts against evil and against the wrong path. Even if He appears silent, He never takes His guiding hand away from us.
