Finding God’s Will (January 31st)
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT
Ever have trouble determining God’s will for your future? You’re not alone. The questions are endless. One follows another. Every new responsibility brings new decisions.
How in the world do we know what God wants?
To know God’s will, we must totally surrender to God’s will. Our tendency is to make God’s decision for him.
Don’t go to God with options and expect him to choose one of your preferences. Go to him with empty hands—no hidden agendas, no crossed fingers, nothing behind your back. Go to him with a willingness to do whatever he says. If you surrender your will, then he will “equip you with everything good for doing his will”
(Hebrews 13:21 NIV).
It’s a promise.
