When God speaks, he most often gives direction rather than instructions.

He tells you where to go without all the details of why or how.

He didn’t tell Adam how to tend the garden or why he had to do it. 

He didn’t tell Noah why he was building an ark. 

He didn’t tell Abraham where to go or why, just to go. 

Joseph didn’t know how he would rule over his brothers or to what end. 

Gideon, David, Peter, Paul, practically everyone in the Bible. They were given direction and not explicit instructions. In other words, there was clear direction with intentionally vague instructions.

He does that because he gave us freedom. Scripture says it was for freedom Christ set us free.

He gives us the incredible gift of choice, and he trusts us as his ambassadors to act on his behalf.

If you feel uncertain, that’s the point.

The faith required to submit your free will to him and act in accordance with his character means much more than relinquishing your responsibility in hopes that God will make the choice for you.
