Every time I read stories like this where God sends an angel to speak to His people it makes me wonder; why does it seem He doesn't do that anymore? I mean, I know we have the Holy Spirit living inside us who speaks, but wouldn't sending an angel be so much easier to interpret? I guess it's just that I personally have a hard time knowing 100% what it is God wants me to do. That's not His fault, obviously, because He is always directing my path. But, sometimes, I just wish it were so obvious I couldn't possibly miss it! Like an angel standing here talking to me, or a vision like the prophets had, or even a neon sign!! :-)
I guess what I'm saying is; how do I know it's God's will and not my own? Most times what I want to do isn't evil and it seems it's where God is leading, but then it turns out it wasn't where I was suppose to be or what I was suppose to do. How do I get to where I have no doubt that I'm following where God is leading? I look back on my life and I see times where God's guidance was definately there, but hind sight is 20/20.
I guess my prayer is to be able to see in the here and now where God is leading, what He has in store for every decision, and what He would have me do.
