I recently heard a sermon about God’s Will and and he talked about how a lot of people see God’s Will as a bullseye, that there is one path or one decision they have to make, when really it is more like a football field. There are boundaries, there is a goal, but there is certain freedom in how you get there and he gave these 5 questions to work through to ensure the decision you make is in line with God’s Will. It is important to work through these in order as well to ensure you stay within the boundaries. The 5 questions are:
1. Bible-what does the Bible say about this?
-Are there principles in the Bible that should help guide me?
1. Prayer-have I really prayed about it?
-Wrestle with God in prayer
1. Godly counsel-what do the godliest people I know think about this?
-not yes men, people willing to tell you what you need to hear and the truth
1. Desires-what do I want to do? Godly desire, not sinful desire. Question is 4th to ensure it is aligned with God
1. Open doors-what doors are open to me?
What are the available options?
I’ll close with this verse from Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
