Seeking God's Will

It just struck me this morning. Hard.

I've been getting all excited about my business opportunity, planning things out, investigating start-up options, even imagining what the place will look like.

But I've forgotten to ask God if this is what He wants me to do!

It's a trend with me, I'm afriad. I have a friend that will stop and pray before she responds, but I barge in and pray later. Usually when I slow down enough to remember that I've actually committed my life to God, so should follow His lead. Sometimes only when I get myself into a tight corner.

I don't know how I can change my bull-in-a-china-shop approach and learn to first seek His face before I act. Maybe it's a sign of rot in the soul, or skewed priorities.

Before I take one more step along this exciting road, I'm going to have to pause and ask "Is this right? Is this Your will? Can you bless me in this?" I hope the answer is yes, but if it isn't...
