Preparation and Seeking God’s Guidance

Suggested Reading:
1. Devotional Reading: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” – Proverbs 16:3 Reflect on the importance of committing our plans to the Lord and trusting in His guidance as we prepare to share the vision with our pastor.
Reflection: Trusting in God’s plan and timing, we can move forward with confidence, knowing that He will establish our plans according to His will.
EGW Quote: “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.” (Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, p. 93.3)
With every truly converted soul the relation to God and to eternal things will be the great topic of life. But where, in the popular churches of today, is the spirit of consecration to God? The converts do not renounce their pride and love of the world. They are no more willing to deny self, to take up the cross, and follow the meek and lowly Jesus, than before their conversion. Religion has become the sport of infidels and skeptics because so many who bear it’s name are ignorant of its principles. The power of godliness has well-nigh departed from many of the churches. (The Great Controversy, p. 463)
