what is God's will for me?

This morning I am going to share with you some thoughts from the devotional I read earlier...

I felt it was worth sharing because of the simplicity and value of the point that was being made by the author..

A question most Christians really wrestle over is 'what is God's will for me.' I feel like most people I know can never really answer this question. Nobody has a specific answer when you ask them this. I bet if you walked around and asked 5 people what they think God's will for them is, that nobody would have a definite answer.

One of the reasons I believe we don't know is because we are too busy worrying about what it is rather than trusting the Father to help us discover what is is.

The Father help us discover his will and the plan he has for us. It's not up to us.

I believe that even when you change your perspective to that, you become more aware of the work that God is doing in your life, and what his will is for you.

8 Ways to Discover God's Will

1. Communion With God Through Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

2. Circumstances of Life (Romans 8:28)

3. Counsel (1 Timothy 1:5)

4. Conscience (Romans 2:14-15)

5. Common sense (Titus 2:11-12)

6. Compulsion (Philippians 2:13)

7. Contentment (Philippians 4:7)

8. Communication With God Through Prayer (Psalm 119:105)

God is continually deploying his resources on your behalf. He's the one who is using all the ways mentioned above to show you his wonderful will for you life.

Don't be afraid about missing the Father's will or misinterpreting what he's trying to say. He's able to speak to you clearly and will empower you to do whatever he calls you to do.

All we really have to do is pay attention. God is giving us his resources and that is what we have to focus on. There is a lot of power in paying attention to what God is showing us vs. worrying about not knowing what God's will us for you.

When you begin to pay more attention, I promise you will start to figure out what God wants for you in your life.
