Knowing God's Will: How to View it

Jesus cares supremely about His glory. He has a plan and it is in process. Nothing surprises Him. He wants you to be like Him. If you are a Jesus-loving, gospel-changed, God's Word-obeying, Spirit-filled person, aka a Christian, then He is making you like Him. Through many tribulations we shall enter the kingdom of God. Be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life, He says. He rules, He reigns, absolute authority is His. The owner of the house is coming back and He has an appointment to keep. We are so worried about what is next for us. It is like we are so focused on whatever catches our eyes, like a little baby just learning to focus and see. Stimulated by almost anything that moves. Jesus wants your supreme worship. To be the delight of your heart. He wants you to cherish what is true and right and good. He wants you to choose to love Him above all and reject the magnet pull of the world, the flesh and the devil. Because He is coming back, in glory.

Ask Him for wisdom and knowledge and understanding, but know that it's intent is not to make you more of whatever you want to be, it is for God to receive more glory. It is not for our sole benefit, it is for His magnification. Chaos reigns on earth, evil rules many realms, but Jesus is on the throne, immortal, invisible, the only wise God. If you truly want to love Jesus above all, you want to worship Him alone, then love God and do as you please. Don't be so worried you might make a life-altering mistake. Walk by faith.

I want you to view the will of God like God views His will...not as a commodity to pursue and attain, but a state of being in conformity to His desires, dwelling in Him, as God draws us in to a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Verdict...we need to know God's will, we need to know, so that we can please and glorify God.
