What is God's will for you? (Part 2)

Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
1 Corinthians 7:20 NIV


What if you're out of God's will?  It depends on how this happened.  If you're in out right rebellion, you should confess your sin, ask forgiveness, and repent.  Start over.


If you are in reckless rebellion, meaning you simply didn't care whether you were following God's Spirit or not, do the same.  Confess.  Ask forgiveness. Repent.


If you thought you were doing God's will, but found that you weren't, seek God's wisdom where you are, and do God's will where you are right now.  For example, say you took a job that you now know isn't God's will for you.  What do you do?  If the job involves sinning or breaking the law, you should quit as soon as you finish reading this blog, no matter the consequences.  If it's illegal, it's not God's will.  (Unless where you live there is a law against preaching the gospel or following Jesus.  Then you must respectfully disobey any and every command that goes against what God commands.)


If your job is not illegal or immoral, but you know it's not ultimately God's will for you, pray for a way out, and until God makes a way out, stay where you are.  Remember, God's will isn't "out there."  It's in God Himself, and all you have to do is agree to do whatever He wants, wherever you are.  You don't have to leave your job (unless it's illegal or immoral.)  God is where you are right now.  Agree to follow His Spirit right there, and you will know and do God's will for you.


Simply agree to do whatever God wants you to do right now, where you are. 
This is God's will for you.
Jesus is Lord.
Amen.
