When I heard Anna say this last week in chapel, I realized something about God's will and what we believe it to be. I think we all worry too much about what we're supposed to do, where we're supposed to go, whom we're supposed to be with, etc. But in reality, although those things are important, the bigger question is "how" or "in what way?"
In what way are we supposed to do whatever it is we do?
In what way are we supposed to go wherever we go?
In what way are we supposed to love people?
"And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8)
"My command is this: Love others as I have loved you." (John 15:12)
"So whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)
That's it.
It doesn't matter where we go or what we do next. It only matters the way in which we do whatever we do.
We must go about our lives loving as Jesus loves, walking humbly with God, and glorifying Him with everything we do.
THAT is His will for us.
Everything else that is specific to our lives will be revealed in His timing.
We don't have to worry about those things now.
We only have to make sure we are walking with God every step of the way.
