Knowing God's Will 2

Knowing God’s Will 2

Here is another list of verses to help one find God’s will for their lives. This is not a strategy on how to find the right city, the right employment but how to find the place to start in one’s own life. The first page and this one is directing people to stop worrying about where they are supposed to be and focus on what things they need to do first, which is implementing God’s ways in ones life. By starting with God’s word and putting God’s will there first, the person will get to the point where they will learn where God wants them and which job they should be in and so on.

Too often people want to run first and get the right job, the right location, the right friends and what they need to do is slow down and start with themselves so they are ready when God wants them to move or change. To do before one is ready means a less impact for God than if one had prepared themselves first.
