The Will

Ephesians 5 says Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Throughout my own life I have prayed for the Lord’s will, from seeking a job, to finding a house, to decisions about giving, how to raise my kids, etc.  I think most of us who follow Him want to know his will so that our lives will be successful and blessed.

However, many times in the Bible we are told what God’s will is for our lives and here in this verse we are called to understand it.

So, just what is it?

The answer follows in the same chapter…

…be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I’m thinking if we focus on understanding this part of his will, all of those other things we’re seeking will fall into place as well.

In fact, the bible says it will.
