Good R.E.D. Friday my RP Family. My direction lately is from my “Honey Do List” my wife gives me. On a more serious note, I try to listen to what God has in store for me. No, I do not personally hear His voice but I read His Word for my direction. It is amazing to me that from time to time, scripture that was relevant in one situation in my life, now leads me in a different direction for another matter. His Word does not change, but adapts to our needs.
I have taken an excerpt from an article by Pam Palagyi. I just omitted an example of a woman who had a decision to move with her company or find another job. I hope that you find the rest of the article of value to you and are blessed by it. Have a blessed day and always.

Divine Direction
Wisdom might be defined today as “knowledge, the ability to discern inner qualities and relationships, insight, and judgment.” Biblical wisdom, however, was described by the Hebrew word chakmah. It was more than common sense and was characterized by skill and craftsmanship, cleverness and cunning, and prudence in everyday matters. Wisdom graced the lives of many biblical figures—Daniel, Ezra, Joshua—and brought them great success.
How do you find wisdom today? Where do you go to have your problems solved and questions answered? The answer is to go to the source of all wisdom, God Himself. He is the one who created you—He has placed His gifts and callings within you and understands their worth. Certainly, He is a good steward of His gifts and will develop them to their maturity.
God is also the one who understands your past and future—He has intrinsic knowledge of your weaknesses and strengths. The Lord will protect you, yet challenge you to grow in your Christian walk.
Finally, God will lead you along a path that will fulfill His plans for your life. He is the one who knows the direction you are to follow and will lead accordingly.
So, how do you begin? Here are five basic steps for receiving wisdom from God.
1. Acknowledge that God has the answer. God is the source of wisdom for all things. Realize that He not only has the answer, He is the answer. Proverbs 2:6 and 9 states, “For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding… Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.”
2. Pray and ask for God’s wisdom. How can you be sure God will answer when you ask Him? James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” So simply ask for
God’s help and then…
3. Believe He will guide you. Faith is an important component to accepting God’s wisdom. You must recognize the fact that God wants to communicate with you. Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” God’s direction in your decision will become clearer and more distinct as you continue to pray and ask for His help.
4. Get in motion. You have probably heard the saying “It is hard to steer a parked car.” Begin to do your part and research your vocational options. Travel with your family and investigate the prospective area first hand. Explore the housing market, recreational opportunities, and cost of living. Your move could be a blessing in disguise, allowing your family greater financial freedom.
5. Check your decision against God’s Word. James 3:15-17 provides the characteristics of true godly wisdom: “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” Have the courage to ask yourself whether your choice meets these qualifications for God’s wisdom, or whether there are still any outside influences directing your path.
If you sense any anxiety or confusion, keep praying. God’s wisdom will direct your paths in a peaceful manner.
God is the source of all wisdom. Only He views your life from an eternal and comprehensive perspective. Allow Him to become part of your decision–making process and guarantee yourself a lifetime of success.

I pray that you and I are mindful of our LORD’s promptings and that we lead those we love as a loving shepherd, my friend and brother-in-Christ SSG Michael Noll.
Lead each of us dear God and help us remember the times and ways YOU delivered us on the path of life in the past. I pray that YOU reveal times YOU acted in our life that we are unawares of to YOUR glory and our edification.
I am so grateful that YOU never forsake YOUR own. YOU allow us to wander before YOU save us to be a blessing to others after salvation. I pray that YOU help parents remember that experience strengthens character and will be used by YOU to bless the sons and daughters and others through them.
I pray that YOU purge us of all desires that are not right for us and replace them with desires that are best for us and those we love.
I pray that YOU transform the minds of parents, teachers, leaders, managers and others who have charge over people. Transform us to be wise, compassionate and dedicated to doing our best to assist those we are responsible for to do their best with understanding, knowledge, skills and confidence in their abilities and in YOU.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
