Over the next few weeks we'll explore in this 5 part study series answers to the question, “What should I do while I’m seeking God’s will?” It is important to emphasise that the word seek is an action word. There are some people who say they are seeking God’s will, but they are actually just waiting for a “lucky break.”
The points I am about to outline in this study series are actually what I believe it means to seek God’s will in the first place. These are not only things you can do while you’re waiting for God to reveal His will for your life—if you are not doing these things, then you are not seeking God’s will at all.
A person who is seeking God’s will is actively asking for God’s direction, looking for opportunities to use what is already in his hand, helping others fulfill their God-given visions, and being faithful wherever he finds himself at the moment.
Actively Ask for God’s Direction
I have come across many people who are so occupied with 'seeking' God's will for their life that they have failed to start with the obvious. Are you asking God what He wants you to do? Are you listening for Him to lead you and guide you in everyday life?
You see, James 4:2 says, “Ye have not, because ye ask not.”
The importance of prayer may seem like an incredibly simple thing to mention, perhaps an insult to your intelligence. But you would be surprised to learn how many people have simply never taken the time to seriously pray about what God would have them to do. There are times when God will intentionally hold back something He wants to give you simply because you have not stopped to inquire of Him.
My friend, if you are seeking God's will for your life - let me encourage you to take the time and start by enquiring from the Lord.
