Discerning the times

How do we know when to move ahead on something He has placed in our heart?

There is the One Who goes before you to scatter your opposition, to plunder your enemy, to redeem your total victory. If God be for you, who can be against you?

There are treasures that we stumble upon - like the man who found the treasure in the field (Matthew 13:44) - and there are treasures that must be sought after – like the merchant who sought the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:45-46).

There are times He goes before, like the cloud in the wilderness or the fire by night, and other times where we are instructed to, “Cross over before the ark of the LORD…” (Joshua 4:5).

When the Word in our hand, the word in our heart, Godly counsel, God-inspired passion, resources in-hand or by faith, and peace with our spouse line up - pursue.

If you are waiting in peace, wait. If He is calling you to pursue, by all means, pursue.
