Spiritual Activity

To know God’s will involves being faithful to God’s commanded principles as given to us in scripture. What commanded principles do you follow? Do you make disciples, feed God’s sheep, love God, love your neighbor…?

The principles you follow shape who you are as a Christian. They are your “career” in life.

Today’s society trains us to seek a career choice and to allow that to be our identity. When we ask the question, “what is God’s will for my life,” I think what we are really asking is, “what work/career am I supposed to be doing?” To look at this from a different direction, let’s reframe the question. Let’s ask, “what is God’s will,” or “where is God working?” Instead of feeling the pressure to understand a specific will for one’s life, one should follow God’s commanded principles (however they manifest in one’s life) and then look to notice where God is working around us.

How do we notice where God is working? This is a question that is still there for discussion. What do you think? Where do you see God working around you, or in you, or through you? I think it is valid and important to name what you observe.
