There are a lot of us Christians that spend a huge amount of time talking to each other about "seeking God's will," as though it were hidden and difficult to find. Let me be frank today, God does not hide His will. His will is not difficult to discover. We do not have to plead with Him to reveal His will to us. Quite the contrary, He is more eager to reveal His will than we are willing to receive it! We sometimes ask God to do things that He has already done!
"Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets." Amos 3:7.
Let's look at the people in Amos's day for a moment. They had become disoriented to God and His desires. God had revealed His will to them; the problem was that they had not recognized it or obeyed it. Amos declared that God does nothing in the affairs of humanity without seeking one of His servants to whom He will reveal His activity. Tragically, there are times when no one is walking closely enough with Him to be receptive to His Word.
Jesus walked so intimately with His Father that He was always aware of what the Father was doing around Him. Jesus said that if our eyes are pure, they will see God and recognize His activity. Friends, if we are not seeing God's activity in our lives, or around us, the problem is not a lack of revelation. The problem is that our sin prevents us from noticing it! If our spiritual eyes are pure, we will be overwhelmed by all that we see God doing around us. However, if we have allowed sin to creep into our lives, we will be "out of tune" to what God is doing. We do not need more revelation, we need more repentance!! We need to turn back to the Lord, understand His complete will given to us through His Word, and then wait for Him to invite us to join Him in His redemptive work. If we are looking for God's will inn our life, maybe we are looking in the wrong places. Maybe we need to look inside of our own hearts first? Could be that God's will for our life is already there? Only you know!
