God’s Will. How Can I Discover It?
One of the questions that pastors are often asked in ministry is “how do I discover God’s will for my life?" Whether it is seeking God’s will about a job, a future career, a location move, future education, or any other important decision in life, believers want to know how to discern God’s will on a matter.
I was recently alerted to read an excellent and free 29-page mini book on God’s Will and Making Decisions by Andrew David Naselli. It addresses the various ways Christians have sought to find God’s will and then offers some very sound biblical wisdom on finding God’s will. The chapters address the following:
Need Encouragement?
I recently read this quote by Pastor Paul Tripp who has written numerous biblically sound books:
“Need encouragement today? Remember:
Worship at the Tabernacle (Leviticus 16, 19, 26)
Family Worship - Worship at the Tabernacle
Praying for our Governing Authorities
This week all across the United States, whether locally or nationally, inaugurations have taken place for incoming mayors, city council members, representatives, senators, judges, and other governing authorities as they begin or continue their work as public servants. It is a good reminder to all of us as disciples of Jesus Christ that we are called to pray for them. 1 Timothy 2:1–4 says, “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Readiness For Sunday Worship
Have you ever taken the time to think about your readiness when gathering together with God’s people in worship on Sunday?
When I was growing up, after dinner every Saturday night, my parents had us lay out our clothes for Sunday, bathe or shower, and go to bed a bit earlier so we would be ready and energized Sunday morning when we climbed into our station wagon (remember those?) and drove to church. My point is we had a plan for readiness on Sunday because it was an important day for our family. We would get our mind, body, and spirit ready to give our best to the Lord and with His people (and I might add, we were never late).
