Discovering God’s Will
God wants His children to obey Him and make the right decisions, so He accepts full responsibility for guiding us. In fact, He promises, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” (Psalm 32:8) However, our lifetime isn’t mapped out in an instruction manual to read in its entirety the day we’re saved. Following God’s will is a daily process of trust. We learn God’s will by reading His Word. There we find rules, commands, and principles for daily life that will lead to our success. The Bible doesn’t detail every possible situation we might face, but its principles equip us to make decisions about any and every circumstance we may encounter. Studying God’s Word is the only way for a believer to recognize God’s will.
