We hear so much about God’s great purpose for our lives but what exactly does that mean? Does the Lord really care about the course we take? Is His path really better than what we can figure out on our own? And if so, how do we discover what He desires regarding the decisions and challenges we face every day—especially when the road ahead appears so confusing?
God’s will for you doesn’t have to remain a mystery. In fact, your heavenly Father wants to reveal the plans He has for your life. In this book, Dr. Charles Stanley, beloved pastor and respected Bible teacher, teaches you how to discern what it is, see the different ways God communicates His plans, shares wisdom on how to know you’re really hearing Him, and gives specific steps to walking in God’s will for your life.
Whether you’re facing a major life decision, planning for the future, or simply trying to walk with the Lord day by day, The Will of God can help you draw closer to God and discover His awesome plan for your life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stanley (Relying on the Holy Spirit), senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, offers advice in this hopeful work for Christians who feel unsure of God's plan for their life. For Stanley, a relationship with God through daily connections to the principles of Christianity is critical. In sermon fashion, he outlines God's communication methods: communication (through scripture and prayer), counsel of fellow Christians, conscience (one's inner voice is the voice of God), common sense, and contentment (finding the divine in the ordinary). He lists factors such as personal desires, sin, fear, doubt, anger, self-worth, ungodly influences, and guilt that influence choices and interfere with being able to ascertain the will of God. He cites examples in his personal life where he felt God's will, such as when deciding to buy a car (did he really need it?) and whether to accompany young friends to a pool hall (though he was tempted, he knew he needed rest). Many of the scriptural passages he quotes are meant to offer encouragement to readers who feel distance from God's message: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Stanley's fans will enjoy these simple, clear ideas for discerning God's plan.
