Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will (Kevin DeYoung)

$9.75$11.99

Settle down – make a choice – and do the hard work of seeing that choice through. This is Kevin DeYoung’s counsel for Christians – for so often, he writes, God’s people tinker around with churches, jobs, relationships, worrying that they haven’t yet found God’s “perfect will” for their lives. Or, even worse, they get paralyzed and do nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of indecision, while they wait, wait, wait…for some sort of sign of clear, unmistakable direction.

Is this the way we’re meant to find the will of God for our lives? God doesn’t need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He’s already revealed so much about His plan for our lives: we’re to love Him with our whole heart, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like. There’s no need for hocus-pocus, no need to remain “directionally challenged” – no reason to wait for dreams, visions, fleeces, impressions, open doors, random Bible verses, casting lots, liver shivers or writing in the skies: just do something obedient to God’s Word and seek His blessing on it.
