If
you want directions to get to a certain place, you have to admit that
you don't know the way yourself. You have to be willing to accept
that what you thought was the right way may not actually be! If
you're determined that you already know the right way, you won't
listen to advice. It's the same with making decisions. If you want to
know God's will you must be willing to accept whatever His will is.
And often (but not always) it's not we would choose.
For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so
are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts. Isaiah
55:8-9
