Intro. “There are no 'if's' in God's world. And no places that are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety - let us pray that we may always know it!”
This quote from holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom.
We often say to one another as Christians as an encouragement “the best or safest place to be, is at the center of Gods will”. And that statement is true.
But what is the will of God?
It is a question that we all ask ourselves many times in our lifetime, what is the will of God for me? What does he want from me? What does He want from my life? What does he want me to do? Or where does he want me to go?
These are questions often asked, and if we are not very keen in listening to his word we may never find the answers.
Our catechisms first question reads like this ‘what should be our chief aim in this life?’
Answer ‘To live in Gods fellowship, enjoy his favor, and obtain eternal happiness hereafter.’
And how do we do that? How do we live in God’s fellowship? How do we enjoy His favor? How do we obtain eternal happiness hereafter?
By abiding in the safety of His will and His word.
No, I won’t have the answers for what God is planning for you in your life this morning, or what He wants you to do, or where He wants you to go.
Rather I have taken three key points as a general overview that will deal with how you listen and respond to what God is calling you to do. These three points are knowing the will of God, Disobeying the will of God and last Obeying the will of God and Today we will be using chapter 15 of first Samuel for the majority of this message the text that was read for us.
