We Christians have become obsessed with making sure what we do is Gods will, as it should be, for Christ cried out to the Father, “Nevertheless not my will be done, but let your will be done.” I have found it extremely hard to try and deciver what is the will of God. Of course Gods will does not conflict with Gods word, so if anything you do conflicts with what scripture teaches, it is not the will of God, for Gods will is shown in Gods word. So the word of God is how we know the will of God, but i know the bible yet when it comes to making decisions how am i suppose to know whats Gods will and whats my will? Ive come to notice that when we try and plan our lives out and say, this is Gods will for my life, i can feel it, actually at those times are when we are acting most in our own will. When we try to pray and find out whats Gods will on a subject that is when we end up doing our own will. For when we pray, we know in mind what we would rather desire, and usually God does not speak back with words that can be heard so we end up turning our desires into “Gods will”. Those of us who have the Spirit of Christ in us, have Christ in us, we try to go and find Gods leadership when the whole time its in us. We try to go seek out what is Gods will, when Gods will is placed in our hearts with his Holy Spirit. Jesus said the Holy Spirit is our counselor, yet we do not heed his counsel, because we have a lack of understanding our own ability to act in the will of God because of the Holy Spirit at work in us. When we look at scriptures we do not see the disciples pondering days or years on what Gods will is for a subject, why? Because they understood the concept of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. There are 6 billion people on earth, we have not the time to spend our lives trying to decide which batch of people we want to give our lives to. Even our ministry is not ours to decide to whom do we serve. Our desire is to spread the name of Christ to the whole world, to bring God glory and to praise him all over the globe. I think we now adays spend to much time planning, and not enough time action, partly i think because our concept of ministry is distorted. The whole ministry has become about finding out what God wants you to do in life, and whatever you do it is good and it is Gods will. If i chose to think like this I would live here all my life, try to start a small church help people, have my wife and kids and live out in the country some where in a happy life. But the Spirit of God at work in me has shown me that great men of God are not the happiest men on earth, they are not the greatest, they are the weakest, but by them God is glorified. And that is what its all about, giving God glory. You can live a Christian life anywhere and God could get glorified because of your way of living toward him. But he would lose, and you would lose much much more. Our lives should be like this; No matter where I am, I will give God glory, and no matter to whom i minister, God will be glorified. God is glorified with the people who live happy suburban lives and do small servacis in the church because thats what talent and messure of faith they have received. We should do Gods will, and Gods will is for us to live according to his word and his standard even if he means risking comfort or saftey.
