Finding the perfect will of God!

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1

You were created by God with a unique personality, special character traits, and individual strengths and weaknesses. You also carry a genetic disposition for sin from your ancestry. Your personality has also been shaped by experiences during your early years and the influences from your parents and family members.

God knows you better than you know yourself and He is omniscient and sees all of your future. He knows what is best for you!

All of these considerations are important in finding the perfect will of God. What is acceptable for me may not be acceptable for you and likewise for both of us.

You cannot “rubber stamp” your walk with God to conform to other people or follow a specific role model for a Christian. God looks at all the mitigating factors in your life in determining how He will use you. Each believer will have a different walk with God.

You have to abandon yourself completely to God and invite Him to live in every aspect of your life. This is the starting point in finding the perfect will of God.

Next you must learn to live in oneness with God through the essence of the Holy Spirit. Invite the Holy Spirit to take authority over your life and show you the perfect will of God.

You can accomplish oneness with God by devoting yourself to prayer and the Word of God. You also must learn “To be still and know that I am God”.

Develop the discipline of taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus and maintaining an inner consciousness with God through His Spirit.

Thought for the day:

“I want to be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway. Commit your works to Me each day and I will fill you with My thoughts and guide you into the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.”
