Discovering God's Will For Your Life

I've been doing a study on this lately. I've got to tell you that God didn't write it across the sky, but I feel sometimes that it would be easier if He would - does anyone else ever feel that way? I know that the Lord desires for all of us to bring glory to Him and worship Him with our lives - that sounds very spiritual, doesn't it? But I know that there are other things that the Lord wants for me to do and I just don't want to miss it and, unfortunately, I feel sometimes that I am missing it completely. There are other times that I feel like I'm on target...those are usually the times that I'm probably as off course as I could get - I don't know!

I believe that part of God's will for all of our lives is relationship. We are to have a relationship with Christ...growing and thriving every day. We are also to invest our lives in others. I think that there are too many times that we will make every excuse under the sun before we do it. And sometimes we still don't do it after that...if you're like me the Lord has to hit me over the head with a 2 x 4 to get me to pay attention to the fact that I passed by people to which I could have ministered that day...that's when I miss His will. Everyone's favorite excuse - including my own - "too busy".

I want to ask the question, "are we really too busy?" Think about it seriously. It's one thing to be too busy to finish laundry or something that truly could wait, but to invest in someone's life...someone that might be hurting beyond what we could ever know or imagine? How busy is too busy for that? I'm talking (or should I say blogging?) to myself more than anyone here.

I have decided that we find time for what we want to do...the things that are most important to us at the time. I'm sure that there are plenty of other things that I could be doing around the house or anywhere else tomorrow night, but I'll watch at some point either live or on DVR "Biggest Loser Couples". What could be more mindless than that? Is that truly more important than winning someone for Christ? Of course not, but we really don't think about things in those terms, and I guess that we should in the grand scheme of things. If we look in light of eternity then we should ALWAYS be about the Lord's business. Do we have time for that? Are we willing to invest that much of our lives to help others?

The King of kings sent His ONLY Son to earth to give His life so that we could spend eternity with Him because He loves us that much. I can't believe I have the audacity to tell that same Person that I don't have time for something that may have eternal Kingdom results. How is your time spent? Do you agree with my thoughts? Where are you in your journey of trying to find God's will for you life? Have you taken that first step? Do it! It only takes one small step to get started and the Lord NEVER disappoints...search for God's will for your life - it will be amazing what you might find when you seek!
