Why do we want to know God's will?
Most Christians would feel that this was a strange question,
for those whose lives are yielded to God have a real desire to know His plan
for them in order that they may follow it in their lives.
But is there not sometimes too great a lapse of time between
knowledge & obedience?
Dr. William L. Pettingill, the well-known Bible teacher made
a penetrating remark on this subject:
"Most people," he said, "don't want to know
the will of God in order to do it; they want to know it in order to consider
it."
It often takes time to learn just what God wants us to do in
any particular matter, but once we know His purpose we ought not to delay in at
least beginning to carry it out by His grace.

John 4:34 (NKJV): Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the
will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work.”
“In all things seek to know God's will and when known obey
at any cost.” - Jonathan Goforth.
