A young man facing the future and unsure of what the next year would bring, concluded, Nobody knows what Gods will is. Is he right? Does a lack of certainty about the future translate into not knowing Gods will?
The concept of knowing Gods will is often limited to discerning what specific situation we will be in at some future time. Although seeking Gods specific leading is part of it, another aspect that is just as vital is to follow the clearly defined elements of Gods will each and every day.
For instance, it is Gods will for us to be good citizens as a challenge to those opposed to Christ (1 Peter 2:15), to give God thanks no matter what (1 Thess. 5:18), to be sanctified sexually, avoiding immorality (1 Thess. 4:3), to live under the Holy Spirits control (Eph. 5:18), to sing to Him (v.19), and to submit to other believers (v.21).
As we submit to God in these and other areas, we are more likely to live in what Romans 12:2 calls Gods good and acceptable and perfect will. Living with Gods smile of approval leads to His guidance for the future.
As we seek to know Gods will for the future, we must also act on what we already know now.
