How do you know if the Lord is leading you to do something?

Question:
How do you know if the Lord is leading you to do something?

Answer:
Seek only to please the Lord. And He has promised that if we want to “do” His will (not only desire to “know” His will), He will tell us what His will is (John 7:17, Proverbs 3:5, 6). If it is the Lord’s will, our heart will not condemn us and we will have confidence toward God (1 John 3:21). The Lord gives a peace when we are doing His will. “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
