How to Know God's WILL

Have you ever wondered what God's will is for you? 

 

I know I have. 

 

I have been known to lament, if I only KNEW what God wanted for me I would do it, I just don't know what He wants me to DO.  (Make sure to read this with a whiny inner voice!  Because that is how I say it!)

 

Interestingly, on Sunday our Pastor make reference to this very issue giving a Scripture that answers this question.

 

Then, on Tuesday night a Pastor from a different local church gave the sermon at our Community Thanksgiving service (an annual gathering of 5 area churches).  And he made the SAME comments regarding the SAME passage of scripture.

 

Now this passage of scripture was not new to me at all, but I just never thought about it in this way before.

 

Now...  before I tell you about the verse I have to insert this funny side story!

 

This morning my husband announced that other than the Macy's Parade there would be no TV watcing today.  (Unlike  Dell's sweet family, who I admire greatly, my children watch WAY too much TV).  Then, he added that there would be no computer usage, as well. 

 

Now, I thought the NO TV idea was FANTASTIC, but I stopped mid-bed making and exclaimed, "WHAT?  Does that mean ME too?  I was just composing my blog entry in my head!" 

 

So, just a few minutes ago, my dh brought me the laptop and told me to post my entry!

 

Anyway...  back to God's Will for your life...

 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (New King James Version)
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

God'swill for you is that you GIVE THANKS...  in EVERYTHING.
 
When we surrender our will to God's will and truly thank Him in ALL things we will be in His will.  Now, I could  pontificate on this thought for several more paragraphs, but I think you should all ponder this deeply and let its truth take root in your heart! 
 
Happy Thanksgiving...  Give Thanks...  Be in God's Will!

...for sharing this with us. I'm glad you were able to use the PC long enough to make this entry. :-)

Regarding TV, we watched Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" on our computer/TV connection this evening. (We'd not ever seen the actual movie.) It was nice to see an "old time-y" movie. It did have some of the scantily-clad, dancing women, but the music was good... Bing Crosby! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good thougts and it's what I always TRY to do... remember to be thankful no matter what. (Which I am sure I have said in several of my own blogs) It's always good to be reminded of God's Truths in a new way! - Jibz

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
