What is God's will for my life?

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

We only have a short time to live here on this earth. So we must make the most of our time. Which is why we must know the will of the Lord for our lives.

Eph.5:15-17 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.


We cannot be unwise when it comes to the will of the Lord. I have been asked this question, “How do I know what God’s will for my life is?” We all have a certain assignment from God and we have to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and He will tell us and guide us into the will He has for our lives. I know that sounds vague and too easy. But it really is how it works. But there are some things that we can do that will help us be sensitive to the will of God for us.

Read the Word of God. Look, it is His revealed will for you right there in black and white. Just do what the book says. That is God’s will for your life. Have a prayer life. Learn to spend time with God in prayer, and don’t do all the talking. Learn to listen to His voice. Have a church home. So many people want to be a lone ranger; you must have a church home, a pastor. By the way that is in the Bible. Be a giver. God wants you to give with all your resources, money ect into the Kingdom of God.

If you will just start doing these things that are in the Book. You will begin to find yourself doing the very will of God. And then you have put yourself into a position that He can speak to you about the personal will He has for your life.

Don’t be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
