Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
That's what we all want- what I really want: to know God's will for our lives.
But it's not as cryptic as we sometimes make it out to be.
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen... Romans 1:20And we know that God's will is tightly tied to His character. God will not do something that does not align with who He is.
So in order to know His will, we have to learn who He is.
When we have a crush on someone, we get a Ph.D in cyber-stalking our crush. We know their favorite color, the car they drive, where they go to school, if they are dating anyone and this is all without talking.
But then we have God's Word, the bible, the only book where the Author actively interacts with us, speaks to our heart while we're reading it and we sometimes couldn't be bothered to open up its pages.
God is not hiding. His will isn't difficult.
"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord... Jeremiah 29:13-14
"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
Come near to God and He will come near to you... James 4:8He wants to talk to us and He will when we make the time to talk to Him.
He's not far from us. God's already with us.
For in Him, we live and move and have our being... Acts 17:28
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things... Romans 11:36We can't discover ourselves, we can't uncover our purposes outside of God because without Him we are nothing.
There is no way we can recognize God if we don't take the time to know Him.
Open up your bible, invite Him into your life and know that He will meet with you and talk with you.
Always.
