Have you ever had a moment when you needed God to speak to you? We all have, and often we are in a moment of crisis and are so desperate we can’t hear because of the circumstantial noise. We are often reacting in hurt or confusion instead of acting with intentionality as we hear from God. Slow down, breathe, trust, and pray.
But have you ever had one of those moments where you knew God was speaking to you? What were you doing at the time? How did you know it was the Lord? I suppose at that moment you were in some way sacrificially serving the Lord of glory and others.
We all want to hear from God, yet often we are seeking some earth-shaking, sky-splitting moments of revelation. However, He often speaks in quiet moments of selfless service when we have surrendered ourselves to His kingdom. (See Galatians 2:20; 1 Kings 19:11-13)
Paul said something remarkable regarding our discovery of the will of God. Remember also, that sin will never be God’s will for your life. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1–2)
God’s will is often clarified in moments of worship. Not the songs we sing, but a life being lived for His kingdom.
