Knowing the will of God is of utmost importance to all of us. In my counseling sessions, this
would eventually one of the questions that would come up. How do you know God’s will? How do you know that this is God’s purpose for me? How long will this challenge be or how long will I endure this? Is it God’s will for me to marry?
These are some of the general questions people ask when it comes to knowing God’s will. There are no easy answers and people who seem to be so certain in knowing what God’s specific will is at any given time, is suspect, to say the least of pretending to know it.
It takes time. It takes humility. It takes a lot of waiting at times. It takes faith. I don’t have the easy answers for these questions. I am beginning to realize now that knowing God’s will would also oftentimes involve walking first, testing the waters so to speak. Sometimes it is in doing that we get to confirm what God’s will is. Many times, we cannot see the whole picture first… but as we take the first few steps, these little things become clearer.
I found one inspiring article about the will of God. Knowing God’s will is a journey in itself.
I hope this short prose will help you find the confidence you need as you seek to ascertain God’s will in your life.
The Will of God
The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you,
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the Spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.
