Experience God's Will
The term "acceptable" means "pleasant". Some people say that they believe that God is good, but they can not practice. They feel that this does not suit your character. This is low levels of comfort or welfare. Either way, the Bible teaches that God's will is acceptable. Who better to know what suits your needs that he who created you and gave you life?
Excellence of the Will of God
"Perfect" means complete, lacking nothing. Following God's will you will never reach a cul de sac. to begin the will of God will take a lifetime for you to fail and leave you lost without knowing what follows. God's will is complete without nothing lacking.
When you think to follow God's plan for your life, a plan that is good, pleasant and nothing lacking; because being afraid? How to get bored? How to become confused?
When you seek God's will, His purpose for your life, it is crucial to fully understand that God's will is good, acceptable and perfect.
Discovering God's Will ...
In Jonah 1:13 “ we read word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amitai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; because its wickedness has come before me. But Jonah rose up to flee from the presence of the Lord to Tarshish ...”
In this passage, we see Jonah fleeing from the presence of the Lord; Jonah was actually really running away from God's will. When he fled, Jonah went down to Joppa a ship looking out for Tarshish. There he found a ship that was exactly where he wanted. Notably, Jonah had just the amount of money the passage; this must be the will of God! You have heard of someone who had just the right amount of money for something? His reason, "Oh, God supplied the money, it must be his will." Jonah boarded the ship, the ship went to sleep. If Jonah had peace, this must be the will of God. If we count Jonah's life, there is only one problem; Jonah disobeyed God's direct command.
Today many people are convinced herself that they are doing the will of God and have some of the same arguments as, "The circumstances were favorable." "The ship was there." "I had just the right amount of money. "I felt such a peace that went to sleep" .Jonás was out of the will of God because he disobeyed God's command.
God's will is revealed in the Word of God. If you want to find the will of God opens the Bible!
Delighting in the will of God
Anyway; God does not do things in parts. His ways are understandable, involving the three: intellect, emotion and will; all channeled through the Word of God. The Problem of Jonah was disobeying the Word of God.
The final appearance in the know and do the will of God, is delighting in what he gives you to do. In Ephesians 6: 6, the Apostle Paul wrote ... Not with eye service, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of the heart of God.
I fear some people who do the will of God only intellectually and not your heart. It was Jonah to Nineveh? Yes, he did eventually, but he went with his head, not his heart.
You can not delight in God's heart but you do. The way to do heart is convincing yourself once and for all that God's will is good, acceptable and perfect.
