God’s Will for Real!
James 4:13-17
Have you ever had a decision and didn’t know what to do?
Whether to get married, buy that first house, start a family, start a new job, quit an old job, is it time to retire?
All of us at different times come to a fork in the road, all of us have decisions we must make every day.
Sometimes we know the right answer, other times we don’t.
What about the time when both decisions seem to be right?
Ever have that situation?
A lot of times, you might hear words like purpose, plan, calling, destination, and God’s will as you talk about this whole idea of decision making.
I want to dive into this topic of God’s will.
Is it possible to know God’s will?
Does God have a will for us?
What about planning?
Should we make plans with our life?
Does God want me to marry that guy that girl?
Does God want me to go on that missions trip?
Does God want me to take that job?
Does He want me to go to that school?
I wonder, are you supposed to know God’s will?
Is it something we should have readily in front of us, like a potion?
Shake this up, God’s will comes out.
Whole books are written on this topic.
Many of them say, if you follow these three steps, you will know God’s will for your life.
I must be stupid, but I can never get those 3 steps to work.
James 4:13–16 (ESV)
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—
14yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.
What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
15Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
