Key to knowing God's will for the future
This morning I addressed this important question about knowing God's will for the future.
- Deut 28:6: You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
It means:
In all your business and employments of life whether within doors or without; in the administration of every office, whether more public or private; and in all their journeys going out and coming home; and particularly when they went out to war, and returned, all should be attended with success.
In fact a similar verse is also recorded in Psalms 121:8:
- the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore
This is an extension of the blessing:
- Now and forever – Even your future is going to be a blessing.
Rev Tissa, Weerasingha from Sri Lanka, said this, "The guarantee to knowing the unrevealed will of God is to obey the revealed will of God."
I dealt with three of the revealed will of God this morning.
A life for the Salvation of people (fulfilling the Great Commission)
- 2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
A life of Sanctification
- 1 Thess 4:3-4 - For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
- 1 Peter 4:2- As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
A life of Satisfaction (thanksgiving)
- 1 Tess 5:18 - In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (KJV)
