What do you do when God has commissioned you but you don’t…
““What do you do when God has commissioned you but you don’t know the next step? Listen to what the Bible says about David: “The Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power” from that day. So David began to do great things for God, right? Wrong! The anointed shepherd boy took care of his responsibilities. He returned to caring for his father’s sheep. What should you do when God has called you but you don’t know what to do next? I certainly can’t take the Spirit’s job, but here’s a good principle: Keep studying God’s Word and listening to His voice; but while you’re listening, take care of the responsibilities He has given you.””
