Discovering God’s will is more about discovering God than it is about some personal aspiration.
Amazingly, God chooses to work through people rather than do things Himself. When he wants to accomplish something, He finds a willing vessel (or sometimes not so willing), and He calls and then uses them.
“When God was ready to judge the world, He came to Noah. He was about to do something, and He was going to do it through Noah. When God was ready to build a nation for Himself, He came to Abraham. God was going to accomplish His will through Abraham. When God heard the cry of the children of Israel and decided to deliver them, He appeared to Moses. God came to Moses because of His purpose. He planned to deliver Israel through Moses.
This is true all through the Old Testament and New Testament. When God’s fullness of time had come to redeem a lost world through His Son, He gave twelve men to His Son to prepare them to accomplish His purposes.
When He is about to do something, He takes the initiative and comes to one or more of His servants. He lets them know what He is about to do. He invites them to adjust their lives to Him, so He can accomplish His work through them.” (Henry Blackaby, Experiencing God)
Central to becoming part of God’s plan is getting close enough to regularly hear His voice and then being willing to respond to His nudges.
Get close to Him this week. Hear His nudges.
