Discovering God's Will Is Much Easier Than You Think!

What is a heart's cry of every serious Christian?

"Show me your will, Oh Lord!"

Discovering God's will for your life is much easier than you may think. Christian teachers have been making millions over the years teaching there are several secret keys to learning and performing God's will. How can I hear God's voice? This job or that job? Marry this woman or that woman? Buy this house or that house? Choose this church or that church? Decisions. Decisions. What does God want?

All that's needed is to ask ourselves one question:

What is it we are doing right now?

Whatever we are doing right now is God's will for our lives. Everything in our lives and in the lives of everyone in the world is God's perfect will for us and them.

There is no such thing as "God's Permissive Will!"

God's will is nothing that has to be discovered. "Oh look how obedient and sensitive he is. He really can hear God. I wish I could hear God like that. Then I could know God's will."

God's will is something that is being accomplished throughout His whole creation, every second of every day. Some (actually Many) may object and say, "This sound like you are making us into robots or puppets." Why is having free will so important to so many people? What is it that they want to be free to do? They want to be free to disobey God. That's the bottom line. They want the choice to obey or not to obey. Why in heaven's name do we want a choice like that? Will we have that choice in heaven? No. There will be no sin. There will be no disobedience. God can and will take away all possibility of sin and we will not be robots. We will be humans with a new nature.

Even the most horrific sin is God's perfect will.

What is the most horrific sin? No, the most horrific sin is not rape. It is not murder. It is not child abuse. All of these pale in comparison to this sin. Here is the most horrific sin:

The crucifixion of God's one and only Son.

God is using that horrible sin and blessing us and glorifying Himself. So it will be with every evil and sin that has ever been done. Their darkness will make God's light shine even brighter. Just one second in His presence and all pain will be forgotten.

For out of him and through him and to him are all things. (Romans 11:36 )

For out of him are all things: there is nothing that did not come from God.

and through him are all things: God is working through everything there is

and to him are all things: everything will one day return to the Father.

Let us cease our striving. God cannot be any more pleased than He already is with you. No matter what great work you do, he cannot be any more impressed. No matter what evil you do, his delight in you will not be decreased.

Rest in this. You are his will.
