1 Thessalonians 4

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality." v.3

Read chapter 4
How often do you ask 'what is God's will for me"?  How often do you or others seek for God's will in some great work or position?  We can search and search through the scriptures for a verse to say, "Nicole, your will in life is..."  Yet we search in vain as we'll never find something flat out.  God does have a will for us, first and foremost to love and believe in Christ our God.  If you do a word search on the word "will"(Greek Thelema) you will find many occurrences, 2,307 in the new testament alone.  Now of course not all of these will's are specific to us as you take each in it's context, but what about the ones you can?  There is a will for all God's children and there is a will for each individually.  If you can't do the basic general wills God has written down for us, do you think you're able to handle more that that?  Here in 1 Thessalonians 4 Paul says it flat out one of God's wills: abstain from sexual immorality.  Bam, right there is your will.  How you doing in doing God's will?  Now that's not to say if you can't do that you can't do anything else, but it does have the trickle effect no matter how big or small the will is.  Just as Jesus said, "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much" Luke 16:10.
How are you seeking God's will for your life and agreeing with whatever it may be?
