Walking in the Wisdom of God, Part 3

Some say that finding God’s will means listening for His voice, or using a figurative fleece to interpret providential signs that can help us to order our steps. But this can lead to anxiety and confusion because there are things that God simply does not intend to reveal. The Bible describes God’s will in two ways. There is His moral will, unambiguously revealed in His Word, which God wants us to know and obey. Then there is His secret will, by which He accomplishes His predetermined plan. As we face decisions which require wisdom, we must seek God’s revealed will so that we can discern good from evil, and wisdom from foolishness. Seeking God’s secret will only results in frustration, and leaves us uncertain about our choices. The truth is that we don’t suffer from a "will of God" problem; we suffer from a godliness problem. Do you want to know and live by God’s will? Solomon said it best: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.
