Walk in God's Will

Series: Watch Your Step

Summary

We can – and should – understand what the will of God is for our lives (Ephesians 5:15-17). His will always leads to what is best. The providential will of God refers to the things that He has determined to do no matter what. The moral will of God refers to the commands in His Word that we can freely choose to obey or disobey. And the personal will of God are the unique things the Father wants to do in our individual lives. The more we surrender to the providential will of God, and the more obedient we are to His moral will, the easier it is to hear the personal will of God for our lives. Our understanding and alignment with His will is directly proportional to how much we reject the patterns of this world, are transformed by the renewing of our minds (which comes through His Word) and foster a deeper relationship with Him.

There are facets of His will that will be unique to our existence, things we were   for, things we were made for.

The more we   to the providential will of God, and the more   we are to the moral will of God, the easier it is to   the personal will of God. (Andy Stanley)

As we daily   to God and choose to   in His ways, we will then hear more and more the specifics for our individual lives. (Rom. 12:1-2)
