Weekend's Daily Bread: Wait for Peace

A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.

— Proverbs 16:9

You may have to step out to find out the right thing to do. If you don’t hear clearly from God, just step in the direction you think you should go, and then wait for peace. If you lose your peace, back out of wherever you were headed.

Dave and I almost bought two different buildings to house our ministry.We were in negotiations until, one morning after praying, Dave said, “Joyce, I don’t have peace about buying that building. I feel like God is saying, ‘If you buy that building, you are going to be sorry later.’” So we waited for peace, and now we have a building that is completely paid for with room to grow. Pray until you find peace.
