As I was heading home from a discipleship meeting at the Coastal Church I was listening to a CD from the Surfing Pastor and the scripture was I Samuel 22:6-23:29. The title of the message was "Righteous Rebels/Faithful God (Do What's In Front of You)". The sermon and notes will be online soon and I will post a link when it is.
The interesting nugget from the teaching is asking the question, "what is God's will?". Many times we ask should I live here or there, take this job or that job? Really though, 99% of the time scripture talks about God's will as making the right moral choice or being obedient to God at a specific moment. Isn't that cool?
I guess God cares about the car we drive but it's the choices we make on the way to getting that car. How much debt are we taking on? Does it suit our needs? Once I have it am I generous with it? You can plug in your job, house, clothing or anything else. The moral choices we make along the way and once we have made a decision are really what matters to God. Are we doing, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, what God wants us to do? That is the question we must ask ourselves.

I like what you post that we should discern what God wants for us but many people don't realize it yet that FREE WILL was the greatest gift he had ever given us. The power to choose and make decisions.
