One of the hardest things in life is learning to hear God's voice. Also realizing God's plan for our life is pretty hard. But the answer may be easier than we think. God led the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land by a cloud they had to follow. They were led in an intimately personal, live presence one step at a time. They didn't understand the whole picture but they had to learn to follow by faith. Pastor John Stickl inspires us to stop letting obligation drive us and instead let grace lead us. We shouldn't focus on our faithfulness toward God but focus on God’s faithfulness toward us? The cloud of God’s presence is moving in each one of us lives right now driving us to take new decisions, do different explores, start new initiatives. God is leading us to discover who we are, who He is, and what we were created to do. He is inviting us to a life of freedom and victory one step at a time. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.
