Perhaps that question arises as often as any other among perplexed Christians who want to know God’s will about choosing a marriage partner, what career to enter, whether or not to move-or a hundred other issues. Answers are rife; but which are right? Do feelings, promptings, signs or similar phenomena constitute indications of God’s will? Can one know for certain what decisions to make? How does God lead?
