Knowing God’s Will

The Bible says: Colossians 1:9 NIV

“Ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.”

Do you find that knowing God’s will feels like a constant struggle? Do you weigh the pros and cons of your decisions, look for signs of His direction, but then continue to wonder if you’re truly making choices that honor Him?

Friend, understanding God’s will for your life is not as ambiguous as you may think. The Lord wants you to obey Him—He eagerly seeks to diredt your path. So when you’re walking with Him, He provides the wisdom you need for every step.

But how do you ensure you’re staying in close fellowship with the Father? First give yourself to Him completely, undertanding that you are His beloved child and He would never steer you wrong. Second, refuse to be conformed to the world’s standards or follow its strategies to achieve your goals. Third, be transformed by allowing the Holy Spirit to change the way you think.

Finally, trust that the God who saved you is able to teach you the way you should go. He will not fail you. Trust Him.
