Is God Ordering My Steps? | How to Know If God Is Guiding Your Path
Have you ever asked yourself, “Is God really guiding my life, or am I on my own right now?” You are not alone and this message leans straight into that question.
In Is God Ordaining My Steps?, Pastor George Sawyer teaches on how to discern God’s guidance in seasons of uncertainty, delay, and difficulty. Rooted in Proverbs 3 and the powerful story of Joseph, this message unpacks how God directs our steps even when life feels confusing, unfair, or completely off course.
Through Joseph’s journey, from betrayal and slavery to purpose and promotion, we see how God’s plan unfolds over time, often in ways we do not expect. This message also draws from the life of the Apostle Paul, reminding us that trust, contentment, and obedience position us to recognize God’s hand at work in every season.
If you are searching for clarity, direction, or reassurance that God is still in control, this message will strengthen your faith and help you trust the process even when you cannot yet see the outcome.
