Seeking God's Will!!!

"Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2)

Seeking out and finding God's Will for one's life is often a long process.  Often times we feel that we need to help God out in the process and get ahead of Him.  That always proves to be the wrong thing to do.  Dr. Kenneth Ridings, former president of Fruitland Bible Institute, once said that 'he had been in the perfect will of God a few times, but he had found it to be a slippery place.'   One of my professors in school, Rev. Jerry Hyder, once shared in chapel eight ways to find God's Will for one's life.  I'm sure we could add to the list, but Bro. Jerry's list is very thought provoking.
1. Be Obedient.
2. Spend quality time with God.
3. Be teachable in your attitude.
4. Don't be afraid to try new things.
5. Get busy with what you already know to do.
6. Remember it is a process.
7. Resist the temptation to compare yourself with others.
8. God will provide.

I have sought to follow these steps over the years and have found them to be very helpful.  My prayer is each of us will seek God's Will over our own will.  It can indeed be a "slippery place" at times.
