I like the quote from Bruce Chicasee, a professor at ITE Bible College….
“If you DO the Will of God as you know it, you will KNOW the Will of God to do it.”

How many times do we wrestle around with God’s Will looking for some great big neon sign from Heaven telling us exactly what we should do in some circumstance? At the same time we aren’t spending time in His Word or seeking His face in heart filled prayer. To make matters worse we are often too IMPATIENT to wait on God to speak in HIS TIME. I think that the more we are in tune with God and the little or basic things He asks us to do, the better we can hear His quiet voice. This considering that satan often works in chaos and noise, yet God whispers in the silence or in the quietness of devoted hearts.

“God has a will in even the small things, but you have to be in AGREEMENT with His Will.

This is another simple but profound quote from Bruce. This make me think that sometimes we might say something is or isn’t God’s Will depending on whether or not we are in agreement with it. This is scary to me because I know that in the center of God’s Will is the BEST and ONLY place I want to be. I’ve always wondered about the “Big Missions Decisions” that we Christians struggle over. I know that we must pray and figure out if it’s God’s Will to do missions by means of raising a Godly family, witnessing in the workplace or in the community, or abandoning all materialism and comfort for the unknown world of the international mission field….or maybe a combination or all of the above. All are necessary to further the Kingdom. So what is God’s Will for me and for you? We must keep in mind that “Only you know God’s Will for you”.

So I guess the more appropriate question is are we in agreement with His Will?

I think because of preference or FEAR, we just skip over or ignore sometimes the simple commands of the Holy Word of God. Like the one directed to Jesus’ disciples…

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:19

Isn’t this God’s will? Aren’t we disciples of Jesus too? Forgive me for being simple minded, but how much more do we need to hear from God to know that we should probably be doing this? (By going, sending, praying, giving, or doing)

I am interested to hear your thoughts on this subject????
