Walking after the Will of God

A carpenter goes to the wood yard to buy lumber. Because He has a reputation as an expert craftsman, he chooses his material carefully. Turning each board, he examines it from every side. It is important to him to choose boards that ideally suit the project that he is working on.

Jesus is the Master Carpenter; He is working on a great project. In John 15:16, He says;

"You have not chosen Me but I have chosen you. “God has a plan and purpose for your life. He chose you because you are ideally suited for His project. So, therefore you can know His will for your future.

How can you know God's will?

You can find God's will in the Bible, so read it. We are also told in John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. So look for and yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes God will lead you through circumstances. But always make sure that the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, agree with the circumstances. The will of God never contradicts the Word of God. If you feel that you are being led to do something unbiblical then you are not being led by God. If the Bible does not teach it, then it is wrong, flee from it.

Remember it is important that we walk in the will of God. But two people cannot walk together unless they agree. So, adjust your direction to follow The Lord, don't think that He will adjust His path to suit you. He won't do it. If you are going to walk with God you will have to take big steps, you cannot say that you are walking with Him if you are willing to lag behind.

You can tell what is in a man's heart by his walk, so always walk after the will of God. After all, He has chosen you for a mighty purpose. He has chosen you to be straight and upright.
