Directions
Directions
One of the things most crave is to have steps to discern the will of God. If you were given a role and I asked you to describe God's will, what would you write? God's will is an essential part of the walk of a Christian; an aspect that every believer must strive to understand. In Romans 12: 1 we read these words, So brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living, holy and pleasing sacrifice to God which is your reasonable service.
These three misconceptions we take when looking for direction for our lives:
1. We search other tips that direction we should take
2. We take our own direction same knowing they are wrong.
3. Being confused, in doubt about which direction to take.
These three misconceptions about seeking a direction arise from a wrong perspective. Because of these false perspectives, it is that people are fearing, fleeing and fighting against God's will.
Why they are frightened by God's direction?
To the extent that you consider God's will, you will see that it is an issue where there are many different opinions ... For example, some people are fearful when they consider the will of God and see it as a tremendous cloud over their heads. They contemplate God as severe and even sadistic. what they have is fear of God and think that if they.
Young people often think they can not trust God concerning his future life. They fear that following God's direction will be losing their youth, not enjoying the good life.
Others are bored with God's will. They see it as something dull and trite. They want adventure and are determined to make their own choices.
There is another group of people who are confused about the will of God. For them it is a great extremely difficult puzzles; They are simply confused
In Romans 12: 1 Paul says, "I pray (I beg you) by the mercies of God, (for all that God has done for you) that ye present your bodies a living, holy, acceptable sacrifice to God, which is your spiritual worship rational "(that is the only reasonable way to praise God). Then in Romans 12: 2, he talks about what and how we think: Do not be conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, to prove what is the will of God, acceptable and perfect . (English version) At the conclusion of this verse Paul is directed to the will of God
The essence of God's Will you aware that the concept of "good" comes from God? We read in Mark 10: 18 ... Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? No one is good, but only one God. "Good" is a characteristic of God! James 1: 17th says, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.
One of the games that Satan likes to play with people is to make them think that God is not "good". When the snake confronted Eve, before the fall of man told Eve that God did not want them to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Satan was attacking the character of God saying that He really is not "good". I wish your personal experience you have come to know that God is good. The mistake of being fearful, bored or confused with the will of God is that we fail to see that the will of God is good because God is good!
