I just finished a very thought provoking book on knowing and doing God's will. The book is entitled "Just Do Something" by Kevin DeYoung. Kevin has some non-traditional views on this subject. I want to share one specifically.
Often times, this is how I was taught, we are instructed that God's will is this magical, unknown phenomena that must be sought after, prayed about, and stressed over. All of those things might be true, but I don't think it has to be this way.
In Matthew 6, Jesus gives us the answer to this "God's Will" issue. We are to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.".
Did you catch the answer? I didn't either at first. The most important thing in following God's will is seeking God's kingdom first. If we strive to consistently live this way, I believe all the other pieces will fall into place.
I would highly recommend this book.
