God’s will reflects God’s character   It is as beautifully complex and multifaceted as His creation.  While our limited understanding of an infinite God can deem some truths as seemingly contradictory, in fact, they are in perfectly balanced tension.  Viewed in their interwoven pairing, they are harmonious while being both simple and complex.  Here are but a few to consider: 

God’s Sovereignty yet Personal Freedom;

Justice yet Mercy;

Law yet Grace;

Wrath yet Love;

Predestination yet Invitation;

Hidden yet Revealed;

Unapproachable yet Indwelling;

Unchangeable yet Responsive;

Goodness yet Suffering;

Perfect Timing yet Waiting;

Living yet Dying

While these dichotomies are unresolved in this age, many will be resolved in the age to come.  For believers, mercy and grace triumph over judgement.  Life swallows up death.   Love wins.  Yet, in the administration of all His truths, God never compromises His Holiness nor His desire to make you holy in His sight through Christ Jesus. 

The teachings of Jesus, imbued by the Holy Spirit, describe how we are to live out God’s will for our lives:

·       Go humbly, valuing others above yourself;

·       Love one another as He has loved you;

·       Forgive as you have been forgiven;

·       Ask that you may have, knock that the door may be opened, seek that you may find;

·       Give that you may receive;

·       Know He uses all things for good;

·       Know He will complete the work He started in you;

·       Surrender your will to His care and control, trusting always in the Lord;

·       Prays always with thanksgiving, rejoicing and praising His Name.

God’s will is not a complex puzzle to be solved as much as it is a mystery to be inhabited and enjoyed in the fullness of His nature. 

Remember, His grace is sufficient for you!
