God is not playing a game of hide and seek with us. He is not teasing us and running away as soon as we get close to knowing what His will is. What is the will of God?
We know that His Will is His Word, and we know that the Word became flesh in the form of Jesus, so first of all…God’s will is about relationship. It’s not a gimmick. It’s not a short-cut, to get to know God’s will we get to know Jesus through the Word. We can see that God’s will is on three levels::
1. A Sovereign will…the game of life doesn’t take place outside of the playing field of God’s will, which is His Word.
2. A Moral will…The boundaries which God has for our good, the big ten of the Old Testament rolled up into two of the new….Love God, love people.
3. A Personal will…the goal. It is very unique to my life, God’s personal plan for me.
We won’t be able to short-cut the personal part to play in fulfilling God’s will for my life. We need to understand, and agree with God’s moral will and His sovereign will.
Too much of the time, we want to skip the first 2 and get to the third. It doesn’t work that way. Let’s be will abiders! Abide in His Word, and abide by his moral law, and then know personal will for your life. Let’s understanding it, and then live in it!
