The Will Of God

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalms 32:8

The Bible says that God knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart." Jeremiah 1:5a. Where were you before you were formed in your mother's womb, for God to know you? Very simple, you were in the mind of God before you were formed. God have thought about you and on that time God already planned your future and destiny.

I believe you have heard the following words "The Will Of God" in your walk with God. What is it all about "The Will Of God"? The will of God means His beautiful plans. As I said, before you were formed God already thought about you and He already ordained a beautiful plan for your life. So no matter who you are and what is your status God has a good plan for you.

You may ask, "Benjamin, are you sure God has a beautiful plan for me? Why can't I see God's plan in my life?" My friend, you can't see or you missed to hear from God what His plan in your life is. Many times we miss His voice of instruction and go on our own ways and end up in problems. We can only be in God's plan when we are walking in His leading and direction.

The Lord says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalms 32:8. God always leads us and guides us into His plan by instructing and teaching us to do and to go in the ways that we should go. See the key word from the verse, "I will instruct you and teach you". A person could only instruct and teach if the other party is willing to listen and learn what was being taught. If you are not listening to the Lord you can't be in the will of God because you will miss His leading and guidance in fulfilling His plans for your life.

Listening to God's instruction always starts from having an intimate relationship with God. If you don't have a personal relationship and a personal interaction with God, you won't be able to hear effectively from God. Before cracking your head to know what God's will is in your life, you should take the step of faith to walk closely with God. As you walk with Him and having a personal relationship with the Lord, He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. Besides that, as you listen and follow His instruction He will always counsel you and watch over your every step. Walk with the Lord closely, listen to Him and enjoy being in His plans.
