Knowing the will of God


Who wouldn't want to know the will of God, assuming you believe in him (he believes in you)?  Sad to say, though, this lament is common among Christians.  It need not be so.

The Bible speaks at length about knowing with clarity the will of God (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 1 Peter 2:15, to name a few).  To know God and who he is through his biblical revelation and in the revelation of his Son, Jesus Christ, is to come to know the will of God.

As we go into this most splendid week, let me share the will of God for you at least this week:

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Everything. 

Now you know his will.  You really want to do it?  I hope so.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and mine to you and yours!
