Agendas - Hidden or Godly

Sometimes, we think we know what the best course of action is.  But the prophet Jeremiah said that our hearts were wicked and deceitful and we can't even know it!   So how can we know what the right thing to do is?  

There are some hallmarks:

1.) Are we seeking the Lord?

2.) Are we being impatient or patient?

 3.) Are we willing to accept an answer that we may not understand or like?

 1.) Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

2.) Psalms 27:14 Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Galatians 5:23 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..

3.). Proverbs 3:5- 6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.  Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.  Proverbs 17:3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,  But the LORD tests the hearts.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. 
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
