I am going through some journals I have and I’m grateful to discover some great truths and ideas I have written down, over the years, from books I have read and messages I have heard. Here is an entry from April 12, 2011 from a message preached by Wendell Calder at Faith Baptist Church in Cartersville. He was preaching on “God’s Will” from Romans 12:1-2.
Here are the five key words he shared with us about discerning God’s Will.
1. Meditate…on God’s Word. The Will of God is ALWAYS known by the Word of God.
2. Dedicate… yourself to God.
3. Investigate… the various options.
4. Initiate… Do something. Take a step, make a move, it is easier to steer a moving car than it is one that is sitting still. To know His will tomorrow you should be doing His will today!
5. Eliminate…all known sin from your life. Sin will hold you back and will be a HUGE hindrance to discerning God’s will. So, confess and forsake any and all known sin.
Well, that’s a great list to think about. Do you want to know God’s will for your life? Then read over that list and seek to practice what it says so you can know and do the “good and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Knowing and doing God’s Will is a DELIGHT!
Psalm 40:8 (ESV)
“I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
Delighting in His Will,
