We can know God's will - one of them anyway

OK, the smoke detector should be going off at any time now. I just put the brownies in the oven and spilled some of the roast juice on the burner. Well, we'll see. I am a disaster in the kitchen. Well, I have only had two stove fires. For some reason, two was enough for the "disaster" label.

I read a book a while ago by John MacArthur called "Found: God's Will". I think the book is perfect, but others disagree. Basically, what MacArthur does is lay out what can be determined about what God's will is for every believer. No matter what, the Bible says that we do not need to struggle to find out what God's will is for our lives.


A lot of people struggle with trying to find out, for example, what college God wants them to go to, or what car He wants them to buy. That is all right, but we will never know what God's sovereign will for us is on Monday until Tuesday. Some people struggle and strain and pur over the college brochures and pray that God would reveal His sovereign will to them. He will.....but not before we go through it. Then we'll know when we look back. The struggle and strain is real, but it should be over the application of the principles that God reveals in His word and how they should be applied to our lives and the situation we find ourselves in.

Then, if those principles are in full action in our lives, we can do whatever we want to. That is the most startling thing. Our will can be God's will if we soak ourselves in the Bible and live it out to the fullest.
