Will of God -- Maintaining the God Focus

Whenever God directs me to "coincidental"voices saying the same thing, I like to stop and take notice. This morning as I picked up my book, Contemprary Christian, I came to this section

"If God had a prupose for the lives of his people, and if his purpose is discoverable, then nothing could be more important than for us to discern and do it." p. 128

Hey that sounds a lot like the stuff that we talked about last night! John Stott gives these 5 words to remind us how we ought to seek God's will:

1. yield (to whatever God wants)
2. pray (asking God for input)
3. talk (to others around you)
4. think (no you do not need to throw reason out the window!)
5. wait (don't make a snap decision if it is unclear)

I think those are pretty succinct and helpful. As you consider the willof God for your life, especially this summer, apply these principles to the process. Remember that God is the one that must take the initiative in these discussions. Be ready for Him to answer!

Seeking the specific will for my life too,
