Good article on Crosswalk about knowing the will of God for your life...
The author makes an excellent point that in order to know God's will for us, we have to search for it, and the place to do that is through Scripture. So often, whenever I am confused and in need of wisdom, I turn to the people around me first. Certainly, God can and does speak His wisdom through His people--but our primary source of wisdom should be through studying His Word.
Returning to the Word not only refreshes my supply of wisdom, but it also helps combat Satan's lies that he is perpetually whispering in my ear. I need daily doses of the truth to keep my mind focused on God and His will for me.
Even well-meaning, Godly people can give false wisdom if we are not careful. That is why we need to stay in the Word and let that be the source of our wisdom. It's not wrong to seek the advice of other Christians--but we should use the Bible as the plumbline which all counsel is measured against.

You are so right. It is easy to be "carried away with every wind of doctrine" if we are not challenging ourselves inside of the word.
