When God Says No! (Part One)

I have been asked, “Dr. Robert, how can I know when God says no?” If you have to force it to make it happen, this probably means God is saying no! When we are forcing something to happen, our efforts will pull us away from God the harder we try to make this certain thing happen that we really want to happen. Psalm 32:8-9 teaches that God prefers to guide through gentle instruction but will allow circumstances to become difficult (like a bit and bridle) to prevent stubborn followers from ruining their lives. Even a “no” from God has GOODNESS written all over it! Be encouraged!
