What is God's Will for You?

God is not disinterested in our lives. On the contrary, He has prepared good works for us to do (Ephesians 2:10) and He is going to finish what He started (Philippians 1:6). While those truths should be a comfort to us, we often wrestle with His will for our lives.

True, He has prepared those works for us, but how are we to know which works are "good"?

While an answer for every decision isn't laid out for us in Scripture, we are given a lot of clarity, if we're willing to look.

We fret over knowing God's will for our lives; but what that normally means is: "should I buy this house?" or, "should I marry this person?" You know, things like that—things that aren't clearly spelled out as being "God's will" or not. But have we stopped to ask what His revealed will is?

Today I want to share an article (again, from Got Questions) that discusses this very topic.

The hidden things are for God to know (Deuteronomy 29:29). But it's not as if God has left us without any clue. I won't belabor the point by delving into every instance, but there are many things in Scripture that are clearly God's will for us. He desires our obedience, that we be thankful, that we pray for others, and a host of other actions. This article will go into that.

I get the consternation in trying to unveil His will, but let's not forget that He has revealed a large portion of His will in Scripture.

So, hopefully this article will be a help to you as you seek to discover God's will for your life.
