	I’m really excited about pacing us through this next study on finding and following God’s will for our lives. The second most commonly asked question I field is:  How do I know what God wants me to do? I know for certain that learning to discover God’s plan is a felt need for many right now.

	This week we are wrapping up our Walk this Way series. For our last point of study in our pursuit of God will, we are going to tackle the question: what am I doing wrong?  There are some who have taken the teaching to heart, but feel like they are not getting any direction from God OR they’ve stepped out in faith to follow God’s plan and they are not seeing it come together.  So the obvious conclusion is must be: “I’m doing something wrong.”  In Hebrews 10:35 we learn about the “patient endurance” we need to “continue to do God’s will.”  We might feel tempted to give up on God’s plan, but we will pursue a higher level of persistence and patience as we go after God’s direction for our life.

	Week four of our Walk This Way series will lead us to study a signature statement Jesus makes about our connection with Him - “Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!” (Matthew 12:50). This is a throwdown moment and one of the strongest statements Jesus offers on His expectations for His followers. The more deeply connected we are to Him, the more committed we must be to finding and following God’s will. Our aim this week is to consider some actions that may help us take forward steps in walking in God’s will for our life.

	In our discovering God’s will study, we learned last week about God’s availability for approaching Him with any need for direction. But we also learned that there are many times He will leave a directional decision up to us, which underscores the need to grow and mature spiritually so that we have the wisdom to make those choices.  This week, we will focus on cracking the code of God’s will – meaning when He does have something specific He wants us to do how do we discern what that is.  We will direct our attention to the Apostle Paul’s discernment factor of being “compelled” or “bound by the Spirit.”  We will learn ways that we pick up on the prompting the Spirit and how we can be convinced of the Lord’s direction.

	In week 2 of our discovering God’s will study, we are going to talk about approaching God for direction.  As part of God’s care for us, He directs our lives. Psalm 37:23 tells us “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”  When it comes to seeking God’s direction, we often divide our lives into the bigs and the smalls = big items (career, choice of spouse, house purchase, etc) seem like we need God’s direction.  But the smaller decisions (what we wear, when to schedule appointments, what to order off the menu) seem like our decisions to make.  One assurance we get from Scripture is that there is no category of life that is off limits for seeking God’s direction.  BUT at some point we have to wrestle with the responsibility of what it looks like to live wisely by maturing in faith and making some directional decisions. I’ve found that sometimes we are “waiting on God” to make some of our directional decisions for us, when maybe God is “waiting on us” to pick a direction wisely.  We are going to process this tension along with learning how “asking for wisdom” (James 5) and walking in God’s will require some next level maturity, trust, and relationship with God.

	I’m really excited about pacing us through this next study on finding and following God’s will for our lives. The second most commonly asked question I field is:  How do I know what God wants me to do? I know for certain that learning to discover God’s plan is a felt need for many right now. This Sunday we step into that with a message on opening our heart to God’s plan. As strange as it seems, there are many who are afraid to discover God’s will out of fear over what He may ask or where He may lead. We are going affirm His good intentions (Jeremiah 29:11) and we are going to uncover some of the boundaries of His good, pleasing, and perfect will (Romans 12:2).
