GOD'S WILL

When you want to know God's will in making a particular decision
you may find it helpful to consider these 6 things:

1.  The Word -- Principles in the Word will cover any topic.
    Psalm 119:96
    Example:  There is nothing in the Bible about which job you
	      should take, but Titus 3:14 tells us you should
	      WORK and it should be HONEST work.


2.  Counsel -- Proverbs 15:22, 11:14
	    But remember here that no matter what counsel you
	    get YOU are responsible for your decision.

3.  Prayer -- Psalm 143:10, Prov. 3:5,6


4.  Wisdom -- James 1:5


5.  Trust the promises -- Prov. 3:5,6  16:9


6.  Peace -- Isaiah 32:17
    Often the reason we do not have peace is because we do not
    trust the promises.
    
    How do we test and PROVE what the will of God is?  Romans 12:1,2



    It is good to remember that, more than anything else, God's will
    for you is the following:

	A. I Thes. 5:18
	B. I Peter 2:15
	C. I Thes. 4:3

    Why?  Phil. 4:19


2.  Who orders (controls) our steps?  Psalm 37:23, 24

    

    THINK:  If God orders our steps, why would we fall?

3.  How many of the things that happen to us are for our good?
    Romans 8:28



4.  When we plan our life, who actually directs what way we go?
    Proverbs 16:9



5.  When He directs our paths (ways),  He makes it ______________
    for us.  Psalm 18:32

    THINK:  Would you want to change your path, change the things 
	    that happen to you?

6.  Romans 8:28-29
    If you love God, what is His plan for your life?  v. 29


    THINK: If you do not believe Romans 8:28, can you obey
	   Phil. 2:14?  I Thes. 5:18?  Phil. 4:4?  James 1:2?
