Discerning God's Will

From: Bryant Wright Ministries

Romans 12:2 "Do not conform yourself to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, pleasing and perfect."

 
God’s will is the goal of every sincere seeker of the Lord. His will is not ellusive, but attainable to His children—it is good and acceptable. But discernment is a process of testing and approving—so that a Christian’s faith and character grows—and Christ’s best is clarified. Discerning God’s will is a spiritual exercise in divine due diligence.

Christ’s best for you consists of wise stewardship, the alignment of your passions, gifts and experiences, and your investment in others. You can be certain Jesus wants to use you to draw people to Himself.

God does not delight in keeping His children in the dark, so pray often that the Holy Spirit reveals His ways to you. Clarity may come in the form of a scripture verse, another person’s Godly example or counsel, or simply a "tiny whispering sound" in the deep recesses of your heart! You can trust the Lord to lead you in His providential path.
