5/5/13- Basic Principles of Finding God's Will

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.  Then all these other things will be added to you as well.  (Matthew 6:33)

But if any of you lacks wisdom let them ask freely of God.  He gives generously to all without finding fault. (James 1:5)

Thoughts:  The very basics of finding God's will is to put God first and then to let God communicate to you by prayer.  We must seek God first to make sure our hearts are right.  But then we should think.  Thinking with honesty and integrity- aware of the deceitfulness of our own hearts is important.  God does give us wisdom.  God does open and close doors.  God does lead us by His Spirit.

Prayer: Lord, may your will- not mine, be done.  Grant me wisdom to be able to discern your will and then strength to do what I know I should discern.
