God's Will

God's will ain't so complicated. First theres God's will for humans. - Love and serve Him with all your heart, soul, and strength.

Then theres God's will for you as a man or woman. -

man - 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

woman - Prov 31
-15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.

Gen. 2:18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.



And if you do both of these, then God will reveal to you His specific will and calling.





And now...

Do with all your heart, as for God, what you have at hand. If you take responsibility and do what you see needs done, then God will use that to prepare you for whatever He has planned.

i.e.

My dad kept telling me "get a job, earn some money," and what was i to expect- im 18 and no serious income through me.

Well, i tried applying the usual way, at stores and such, but it just leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth, having to work for some stranger.

So i decided that God would have to provide me with a job if He wanted me to have one, but in the meantime, i would take the responsibility my dad put on me (to make sure the church cleaning got done well) seriously. I can't say i did extremly well, but i tried harder and checked after everybody did their part.

And about a month later, Vick tells me im going with him to the bay area to work for Mr. Otterstad's Oakland Hills Brush Clearing service. And now im realizing how blessed i am for this job. And that i must be faithful here too, until God calls me elsewhere. That means working hard because i must admit i have a lazy streak in me. I hate it. But im sure one of the reasons im at this is because God wants to root that out of me. Praise God!
