Some people know the Lord's will and for certain reasons choose not to follow it. But after a while when they begin to see negative conseuqences, then they begin to repent and eventually follow his perfect will.
May be I'm thinking of who to get marry to, what type of car I should buy, the kind of friends to be with, these are just examples of some of the things that we try to decide upon.
Usually, when we understand the word of God and choose not to live by the letter of the law but rather by grace, then we have a true understanding of what the Lord wants from us.And when we are used to reading and listening to the word, we can easily discern what the Lord will is for our lives.
Abraham was a man that obey the voice of God and it was credited to him as righteousness to him because he heard God's voice, left his father's household and with his wife and went by FAITH,to a land which he hadn't been to and dwelt there.
Abraham had a choice, he could have chosen to stay in where he was, but because he CHOSE to obey he left and he became the father of manny nations.
When we believe God and HIS word, then we take a step of faith based on the word.
Faith comes by hearing the word of God(Rom.10:17).
It is necessary, for us to seek out the will of GOD.
David was a man after GOD'S own heart. Whenever he's about to embark on a journey,
he inquires from the Lord, if or not, he should go on.
They usually had priests then but after Jesus came and ascended to heaven he became the high priest making interession for the saints in heaven and whenever we need to
find his will and pray, we should approach the throne of grace boldly so that we may find grace in the day of need.
When we got saved, we ourselves became a royal priesthood unto God, and a holy nation and a chosen people(1Pet.2:9).
This gives us the courage to speak with the Lord through prayer.
We must not misuse the grace that we have but appropriate it accordingly for His glory, amen.
