God's Will - Part 6

Greetings Internet Campus,

This morning we wrap up our 6 day study of God's Will...have you found it yet? If not, that's OK. These tips were meant to help you in your search...not guarantee that God would reveal it to you within a week. I have spent the better part of my adult life wondering...am I doing what God wants me to do? Am I the man He made me to be? What is He yelling into my life that He wants me to change? God's will isn't an easy thing to find...but He wants us to keep searching. He's not hiding it...just the opposite... It is sitting right there - I just need to know where to find it...

Here is a quick recap of the tips we've been chatting about:

Step 1: Be obedient to what God has already shown you.

Step 2: Pray and continually seek God’s wisdom and guidance in everything you do.

Step 3: Rearrange your priorities so your primary motivation is to glorify God.

Step 4: Saturate yourself with the Word of God.

Step 5: Learn from the examples of others.

"For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love."

Galatians 5:13

Here's Step 6

Step 6: Get involved in a variety of ministries

Exposing yourself to other ministries not only increases your spiritual vision, but it also gives God the opportunity to open and close doors. If you look at the lives of powerful Christians, you’ll find many of them got their start by "temporarily" helping out in a ministry which later became their life work.

Are you serving God and His people in some capacity? I've got to warn you...this might be hard to read...ready? You won't find God's will for your life if you aren't serving others. I know that sounds hard...but let's take it apart...

God commands us to serve His people. If we aren't...it is an act of disobedience. It is reasonable to conclude that if we are disobeying God...He can't bless our lives with the discovery of His will for it. I know God is God and He can do whatever He wishes. However, like a patient parent, He is waiting for us to obey Him because we love Him. Serving others is an act of worship....and the key to revealing what God wants us to do with the life He has given us.

Jump in! Get involved in serving those that God puts in your path... This isn't just church ministry...no matter where you are...God has called you to get involved with and serve others. We are "on call" 24/7 in all circumstances to put the needs of others before ourselves. As God-followers we aren't called to an easy life...just an obedient one that leads directly to our purpose.

I'm praying for each of you as you are seeking God's plan...it may feel like you'll never find it...trust me...better yet, trust Him...you will.

Pastor Brian
