"May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.” Genesis24:14 (NIV) Does this Biblical example teach a fail-proof method of knowing God’s will? No. God promises us his guidance and his presence, not necessarily external signs. He may choose to grant us events that, upon looking back, we can trace to his leading. But that should not be expected. Much of God’s will is learned in the struggle of doubt and faith. He wants us to live by the principles he’s laid down in the Bible. He is concerned about how we live as much as what we do. That doesn’t mean that how we do it isn’t important; our actions reflect our allegiance to God. But doing God’s will means living one’s life in obedience to all that he has revealed to us individually. Pastors Ruben & Terry Trevino
