The Lord’s Will — Part 4

Here’s the final set of 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.

15. Does it have the appearance of evil?

“Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22).

16. Is it captivating and enslaving?

“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any” (1 Corinthians 6:12).

17. Am I in a hurry about it?

“He that hasteth with his feet sinneth” (Proverbs 19:2).

18. Have I counselled godly Christians about it?

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:15).

Above all, we need to ask the question that the Apostle Paul asked, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do” (Acts 9:6). Remember too, “if any man will do His will, he shall know” (John 7:17). “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6).
