Life is not always neat and tidy. Sometimes it is messy. Do you feel like God is leading you in circles? There is a reason. Find out why today from one of the greatest stories in all of Scripture.

Today we examine the final three steps on the journey to God's will. The will of God is not simply a decision. It is a discovery. Along the way we learn so much about the Lord. This is God's way.

Praying and waiting - God always connects them to one another in Scripture! We must learn to connect them to our lives. As we pray and as we wait God works. There is no other way to the will of God.

Trust and obey - these are inseparable truths and the only way to find God's will. Commit yourself to dependence on God and obedience to Him.

The greatest life on earth is the "led life." God leads and we follow. Are you facing some impossible assignment? Do you need divine intervention? Relax. Look to the Lord and let Him lead.

God confirms His will through His Word. He speaks! Get in the place where you can hear His voice and expect the Lord to give you definite direction. Look for divine confirmations and then obey.

One of the hardest things to do on the journey is to sit still. Wait. God is not looking for planners; He is looking for followers. Often the Lord makes us stop and wait on His time. What can you do while you're waiting to see what God will do?

As we begin to follow the Lord continues to lead. One step at a time. One day at a time. There is a place to start - right where you are. And there is no place to stop. Learn from Paul's example how to take the next step in your life.

Is it possible we are not getting an answer to our prayer because we are asking the wrong question? Before you can see the next step you must see yourself and you must see God. Discover the first step on this journey.

The will of God is a journey, not a destination. It is not about finding some thing or some place - it is about meeting Jesus along the way! The goal is not to simply know the will of God; it is to know God Himself. Look for Him along your path.
