I know God’s will for me

There’s a ton of confusion over God’s revealed will versus his concealed will. I have a suspicion that if we paid closer attention to matters of his revealed will (what we already clearly know he requires of us), we would have far fewer issues with his concealed will (who should I marry? where should I live? what kind of shaving cream should I use?)

As Paul concludes his first letter to the Thessalonians, he fires off a bunch of final instructions to his readers saying, “This is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” As our time in 1 Thessalonians concludes we’re intent on confirming that the people we prove to be are people who know God’s will for us and are living it out.

But lest anyone be disappointed because they don’t come away knowing who their future spouse is to be, this is about God’s clearly revealed will.  These are the things we ought to be doing no matter where we work, what school we attend or who we’re married to.

Take some time to read through 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 for Sunday and pray that God will indeed bring us to a greater place of obedience and blessing as we prove ourselves to truly be his followers.

See you Sunday,
