If we are asked to respond with yes or no to the question, all of us would say, “Yes, I want to know God’s will.” But doing God’s will is another matter entirely, because without exception it requires risk and adjustment and change. We don’t like that. Even using those words makes us squirm. Experiencing the reality of them is even worse. We love the familiar. We love the comfortable. We love something we can control—something we can get our arms around. Yet the closer we walk with the Lord, the less control we have over our own lives, and the more we must leave to Him. To give Him our wills and to align our wills to His will requires us to abandon what we prefer, what we want or what we would choose. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30
