Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”—John 14:6
If you are walking daily with
the Lord, you will not have to find God's will—you will already be in it. If
you are walking with Him in obedience day by day, you will always be in the
will of God. The Holy Spirit's role is to guide you step by step to do God's
will. Walking closely with God each day guarantees that you will be exactly
where He wants you to be. You would have to reject all of the Holy Spirit's
activity in your life in order to get out of the will of God.
The disciples never had to ask
Jesus where they should go next. They simply looked to see where Jesus was
going and stayed close to Him! Jesus was their "way.” They didn't need a
map as long as they had Jesus. Too often, we would prefer a road map of our
future rather than a relationship with the Way. It often seems easier to follow
a plan than to cultivate a relationship. We can become more concerned with our
future than we are with walking intimately with God today.
Jesus will never give you a
substitute for Himself. He is the only
way to the Father. That's why it is critical that you clearly know when
God is speaking to you (Isa. 30:21). If you are disoriented to how God speaks,
you will not understand when He is giving you a new revelation about what He is
doing. If you want to know God's will, take time to cultivate your relationship
with Jesus and learn to identify His voice. He is more than willing to show you
the way.
