Will of God

MY QUESTION for GOD

What is God’s will for my life?

A MOMENT with GOD

Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?

Esther 4:14

You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.

Psalm 139:3

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob’s God. There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.

Isaiah 2:3

Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities.

Matthew 25:21

Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us.

Hosea 6:3

“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.”

Luke 6:46-47

Has there ever been a Christian who has not asked this question? Sometimes “God’s will” seems so vague, so hard to know. Perhaps the problem is that too often we’re expecting God to reveal something special to us and we ignore the revelation he’s already given in his Word. The Bible has dozens of clear commands for you to follow: Worship only God, love your neighbors and your enemies, use your spiritual gifts, tell the truth, do not covet, do not steal, be sexually pure, remain faithful, teach your children spiritual truths, don’t gossip, be generous, don’t take God’s name in vain, read his Word regularly, don’t let money control you, let the Holy Spirit control your life—the list goes on! Isn’t doing all these things God’s will for your life? But God also created each person for a specific purpose, and he calls you to do specific tasks. It is usually through steady obedience to the will in his Word that your specific direction in life can be found. So first make sure you are following God’s will in the areas he has already laid out. As you wait for God to reveal what he wants you to do specifically, you should continue to be obedient to the things he calls every person to do. Then, if you happen to miss God’s direction for a specific task, you won’t have missed God’s will for living your everyday life. God is vitally interested in the details of your life, but his primary will for all people is simply obedience.

DIVINE PROMISE

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8
