"The Story Behind the Song" (published April 31, 2021 by Heather Schopf):

What is the will of God for you?
Believe me. With a bent toward doubt, this question hits home.

But believe me, too, when I say that through the now 3+ decades of gradually coming to know my God more and more, this question is not as daunting as it once was.

Through the years, I recall conversations with those who seem to either 1) "mystify" God's will by mostly speaking of the Christian life in less-defined terms (such as "walking with God") while at the same time breaking clear commands of Scripture, or 2) who view God's will as a pre-paved road out of thousands that is distinctly and only His perfect path for you. Frankly, neither of those seem to adequately weigh in on the relationship we've come to have as a child of God. His moral will (His standard of holiness) never changes. However, speaking of His specific will in a believer's life choices, God is neither trying to trick us nor does He present His will as an iron-clad, unalterable, "right path" from which any veering would find us "out of His will". From His vantage point, yes, someday all will work out just precisely as He planned (Isaiah 46:10). From our vantage point though, I'm learning how to flesh out Proverbs 3:6 -- acknowledge Him humbly, then take a step! God assures us that He will direct us on the right path. And, God is even big enough to redeem sinful choices to accomplish His will! (Genesis 50:20)

Further, I've grown in my understanding of what God really wants from me. Some days, I feel like a spiritual all-star simply because of the visible "good works" I was able to roll out. (We won't talk about all the people I had to trample to accomplish said tasks!) Contrary to what I may expect, at the top of God's to-do list for me is conformity to Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29) and glorifying God by producing fruit that only He could produce through me (John 15) no matter what my hands or feet may "accomplish" for Him.

Sure, there are still issues that hit me square in the heart that I want closure on: "Is this (fill in the blank) really the will of God in my life?" Or "How in the world do I apply this verse in this very complicated situation?" Or how about this: "I just wish Jesus could come over for coffee and just lay it all out there for me... step. by. step. Then I'd know what God's will is for me!"

Truth is, I have all I need to know His will -- His Word and His indwelling Spirit to help me understand it. The bigger issue now is: Am I willing to submit my will to His will?

A while back, I began a good starter list for what I know to be "the will of God". Reviewing this song brings fresh conviction each time!
