How To Know God`s Will

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
From early on in our lives we confront many questions affecting us as individuals. Questions such as what subject shall I major in; what college shall I attend; whom should I marry; how big should my family be? Decisions bombard us everyday. Yet the reality of it is that our worldly worries should take a back seat and never take the place of spiritual things. Remember what Jesus said,"Thy will be done". So what`s Gods` will?
In 2Peter 3:9, the Lord is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance". Our priority is in Christ Jesus. God doesn`t want any one of us to be lost . God doesn`t force anyone to love Him . Our love to Him is voluntary and with joy. Why? That`s because He first loved us! John 7:17 says, "If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority"(NKJV). Just from reading this text one can meditate the fact that we must have a willing and surrendered heart in order for God to let us know His will.
God guides us, "Thy word is a lamp onto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Psalm119:105).
God has given us instructions verbally and in writing throughout human history of what is right and what is wrong and to keep ourselves in communion with Him. We not only can determine what`s Gods` will through scripture, but from our fellow brethren . "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety"(Prov.11:14). Don`t seek counseling or advice from just anyone, "Do not be deceived, evil company corrupts good habits."(1Cor.15:33).
We definitely must pray daily, in order to know what`s Gods` will is , so that He can guide us. We should on occasion include fasting because it amplifies our prayer experience. In determining the will of God, we must be patient. " We count them happy which endure. Ye have of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy" (James 5:11).
