David said... “Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.” (Psalms 143:10 )
Paul says, “ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service. 2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God. (Romans 12:1-2)
We cannot know the will of God if we do not first submitted to
His plan and His will. You do that by presenting yourself and your life as a
sacrifice to Him, ready and willing to do whatever He asks of you. When you present yourself to God as a living
sacrifice ready to do His service whatever it might be, then God sees that and
responds to that. There is a renewing of the mind that takes place. The things
of this world are no longer important to you. You are primarily concerned about
pleasing God and doing His will. The more you sacrifice your life, the closer
you become to God. Eventually you tune in to God’s frequency, God begins to
speak to you through His Spirit and His Word, and you can know and understand
what He is saying to you. It becomes crystal clear.
It is easy to
know you are in the will of God when He is blessing all of your efforts. But
when the enemy has you surrounded on every side, it seems so much harder to see
His will because you have become blinded by the enemy. David knew this better
than anybody, he had a lot of enemies. Don’t be like Job and say that God has
abandoned you, that is not the case. If you feel like the enemy is gaining the
upper hand, read the 27th Psalm, it is an amazing proclamation of how God
lifted David up above his enemies in the midst of the battle. One of the verses
from this Psalm states...
“Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path,
because of mine enemies.
God will lead you down a path that is clear to you if you only
ask Him to. It is a learning process, ask God to teach you His will, if you
really want to know it, He will reveal it to you!” (Psalms 27:11)
