| Q. How can we know the Lord’s will, and how do we know it’s not just something we want to claim as His will? |
| A. God wants us to know His will. “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6). “If any man will [desires] to do His will, he shall know” (John 7:17). |
| The key to knowing His will is a desire to do it, coupled with orderly consistent reading and searching of the Word of God. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet” (Psalm 199:105). We also read: “Be ye doers of the Word, and not hearer only” (James 1:22). If we don’t know the will of God it is never failure on His part, but always some hindrance on ours. |
| The more we walk in His company the more we will know His will, and His desires will become our desires. “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalm 37:4). We also read, “I will guide thee with Mine eye” (Psalm 32:8). You have to be close to someone and looking at their face to have them speak with their eye. |
