Two Rock Solid Ways to Know God’s Will For Your Life

People like to talk a lot about how to discern God’s will for your life.  What to eat? to wear? to buy? to drive? to crave? to do? to be?

People spend time and money contemplating these things endlessly.

If that is you, your toil is over.  Because I know two rock solid ways to know God’s will for your life.

1) Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.  Love your neighbor as yourself.

2) Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

Those are the two ways you know God’s will for your life.  If you seek to do these things, you are doing God’s will.

The same goes for our churches.  Any church accomplishes God’s will if always before them is loving the Lord, loving their neighbor, doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly before God.  Churches try to discern ways, means, programs, buildings, radio ads, TV dramas, and complicated committees to try and do God’s will.  But it is right there before us.  Let’s just go do it.

    You forgot to mention the third one:
    “Tithe ten percent and then you’ll get whatever you want from God.”

    Maybe that one was a bit too obvious… :)

    Thanks for injecting humor into the conversation.

    Preachers need their Gulfstreams…
