God is Drawn to Movement by Paul Scanlon:
There are, broadly speaking, two distinct schools of thinking among charismatic Believers with regard to divine guidance and the discovery of God’s will for our lives.
School one, and by far the largest, is summed up by the mentality that says: ‘I don’t move without God’s guidance’.
School two is the complete opposite. It says: ‘I don’t expect God’s guidance until I move.’
I wonder which one you are in. Do you believe that God’s guidance is the cause of your movement, or an effect your movement causes?
School one adherents believe that divine guidance is like a map showing them where to go and what to do. Whereas, school two followers know that God doesn’t do maps, just compasses.
That compass is the built-in guidance system God has placed within every Believer, consisting of their gifts, passions, leanings and deepest concerns. These inner guides are indicators of the way towards their personal ‘true north’.
School two people believe that if they follow their heart they will bump into the perfect will of God for their lives without trying to plot a precise course towards it.
