I have a lot of moments where I'm sitting and wondering, what the heck is next? I don't want to make the wrong decision and that often turns into fear. I get afraid that it's not in "God's Will." So what is God's Will then? I've gotten tired of people going on and on about God's Will. We can sit around our entire lives trying to find out what God's will is for our lives and, when we think we've discovered it, try to walk in it. I have come to the belief that the will of God is to know Him. It says in John 17:3, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." His will is not necessarily a little of list of things that God has for me to accomplish in my life...His will is for me to know Him, period. So, how am I supposed to know if what I'm doing is in his will for my life? I've come to this conclusion. When I am going through life and I am interacting with the would out of the heart of God, I am walking in His perfect will. It's about letting my life become a fragrant offering to the Lord. What does that look like? It's giving, not taking. Loving, not hating. Bringing life, not death. Its about not leading others into compromise. It's about allowing the very life of God to flow through us in every aspect of our daily lives. Does God want me to be a musician? Sure, if it brings life. Does God want me to move to this town? Sure, if it is to further know him and to spread His love. We can do whatever we set our hearts to if it is done out the intimate "knowing" of Him.
