The Lord’s Will — Part 3

Here are more questions we can ask ourselves that will help us in discerning whether we have the Lord’s will or not, when there is no definite Scripture.

 Do I find myself justifying it to others?

“If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse” (Job 9:20).

 If it involves the expenditure of money, could the money be better spent?

“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase” (Proverbs 3:9).

 If it involves time, could the time be better spent?

“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16).

 What effect will my conduct in the thing have on others?

“Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak” (1 Corinthians 8:9).
