The Lord’s will (4)- is very personal, definite and specific too

God has a Plan for Everyone. 

This plan is suited to our personalities, talents, needs, potentialities and environment.There is a divine blueprint for each one of God’s people. It is said in Ephesians 2:10 that God has ordained certain specific tasks, works for each individual Christian. Hebrews 12:1 says, “run with patience the race that is set before us.” There is a different race for each one of us. 

Paul could say, “I have finished my course.” He fulfilled his Ministry and his work was completed.  God wanted Paul to know the Lord’s will. In 2 Timothy 4:7, Acts 22:14  says ” the  God of our Fathers hath chosen thee that thou should know his will.”

  •  God’s plan for you is very personal. It is just for you as in Psalm 32:8. 
  • God’s plan is very detailed as in  Psalm 37:23.
  • God’s plan is continuous as in Isaiah 58:11.
  • God’s plan is definite and specific as in Isaiah 30:21.
  • God wants us to enquire about his plan as in  Psalm 143:8.

The will of God is always good, acceptable and perfect for that particular believer. Romans 12:2 says, “That ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

God’s Plan  for our Everyday Life Which Includes Certain Features

It is a sad fact that it is possible to miss the plan of God in our selfish and stubborn ways and plan our own lives. This is a tragic mistake and should be avoided. We are incapable of planning our own lives. Jeremiah 10:23 says, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: It is not in man who walketh to direct his steps.” Only God knows the future and he is the one capable of choosing our vocation. 

Separation from sin unto holiness. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 says,  “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification”. God is holy and it is his will that we be like him.
