How to know the will of God (Part 1)

Do not paralyze in those areas where you need specific information, when God does not give you or give you that specific information. He has given you general principles on which you can base your decisions, in an increasingly secular world, we definitely need to stay in the truth found in the Word of God.

Step No.1 Where is your heart?

As Christians, we strongly want to know and do God's will, in Ephesians 5:17 we are exhorted not to be foolish but to understand what God's will is. Therefore it is not an argument to belittle. Instead, we must all pay special attention to understand the fundamental principles that should be the basis of our decision-making process.

There are certain moments and periods in life when this becomes a challenge. Think of a crucial decision like: choosing your career, your life partner, your friends, among other things. You want God to speak to you as clearly as possible. You don't want to be sorry for the rest of your life.

The first and most important thing that all of us should do is understand if our heart is in a "good place" Being in a "good place" means examining ourselves to see if doing God's will is something important for us, if this is something that genuinely interests us. If this is your case, then your heart is in the right place.

When you want to honor God in decision making, if God is the most important person in your life and your opinion matters to you and you respect him, then without any shadow of a doubt your heart is in the right place. This is the first step towards understanding God's will for you.

God has given us free will, we have to choose the right thing, however, God himself makes us responsible for our decisions, for this reason, God tells us two essential things regarding our hearts.

1.- Keep your heart above everything, because everything we do flows from it.

2.- Where is your treasure, your heart will be also.

When you have to make an important life decision, who do you go to? Whose opinion do you value most? If the answer is God, you have taken the first step towards understanding his will.
