Romans 4:5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
How often have you gone and tried something because you thought God wanted that – only to find out it was a failure?
I know I have tried various things as part of my mission for God; but the ones where I waited on God instead of 'having a go' were the ones which were more likely to succeed rather than those I had a go with!
God wants us to listen to Him so He can show us the best way forward for His work.
