His Will, His Word

The concept of God's will is an endearing one. People say:

"I want God's will to prevail in my life" 

"It is best to marry according to God's will"

"Have you found out God's will regarding that situation?"

"May God's will be done in this home/office"

Well, talk is cheap.

God's will is God's word. God's will for our life is our obedience to the word of God, the bible. God's will for Adam and Eve was to follow His instruction. They disobeyed his clear instruction and fell out of His will and consequently out of the favour the garden of Eden represented. 

God's will is not a mystery. When we are serious about being in God's will, we will study that beautiful book called the bible and DO what it says.

Faith

He's constantly teaching me how to live by faith. And never to feel I have it all figured out. Because just when I'm confident I've sorted myself out, BOOM! That sound preceding the falling apart of things. Sometimes things go so smoothly that we forget to pray about them and forget to be thankful for them. Then something snaps out of place and we realize it's been God's grace all along. I'm thankful to God for reminding me not to take his favour for granted. No matter how small or common it seems.
