Discovering God's Will

 In Touch presented some good scriptures on "Discovering God's Path. I copied a few below that were meaningful to me for reference and added my captions. I did this because I truly want to know why God created me for this planet, and I want to fulfill my purpose. I thank Him so much for loving me and caring for me regardless of my failures.

Ask-Call upon the Lord—
    Psalm 25:4 “Make me know Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.”

 

Believe on Jesus and Receive the Spirit–

    John 16:13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever he hears, He will speak, and He will disclose to you what is to come.”

 

Study the Scripture—

    2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.”

 

Pray always --

    1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”

 

Obey and Walk with the Lord --

    Psalm 36: 9 “For with You is the fountain of life; In your light we see light.” 

 

Wait for answers --

    Psalm 37:34a “Wait for the Lord and keep His way.”

 

God's Will

      I pray for God's will over my life in events, relationships, etc.  But, what is truly God's will?  And, how do I know?  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells me.  "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." 
     So, I am to pray without ceasing.  Instead of being concerned about people relationships, first and foremost, I should center on my relationship with God. 
     In my public service work, I was instructed how to communicate with customers, but it is up to me train myself to communicate with God.  

     I have to:

Seek God first 

Make it a habit

Be diligent

Determine to make it a goal

Become dependent on Him

Be thankful

Be joyful

Become intimate

     These are "God's will" for my life.

God's Will!

Sit and Be Still;

Communicate;

Let His presence enter your state.

Be mindful of Him,

Not utterances on a breathless whim.

Talk two-way when you pray.

Regularly, daily, laugh gaily.

Find intimacy, draw near.

Be sincere. 

His will is clear.

Give thanks and gratitude

With happy attitude. 

Praise, 

And be blessed all your days.

God's will, fills.
