What I have to say about God's will.

God is funny sometimes. I usually start writing my blog and something comes out that I want to write on, sometimes on the first try. Today wasn't so easy. I had tons of mismatched ideas in a good 2 to 3 paged paper, although it somehow tied together, I'm sure my English teacher in high school would of had a field day with it.

Sometimes I wonder why God gives us a certain idea that it is His will. Let me rephrase that, how do we get the idea that we are doing God's will? Some people believe that anything done in a church or religious organization, is obviously God's will. I don't believe that. People take steps to reorganize what has already been planned, in order to be in what they call "God's will." And sometimes I know God doesn't want you to schedule your time and just let Him work through you. But sometimes He also wants you to stick to the original plan even if something "better" comes up. Because it's not always better.

Consistency. I have a rough time with it. Unless I force myself every day to do something, I am not persistent. It would have to be something that I love to do or have a set goal that I want, for me to be consistent. I think God calls us to be consistent as well. It's not changing your beliefs because someone else says something against it. There is a balance here I do have to point out, and that is to be flexible to change, but to be consistent in your beliefs. The difference is not to be narrow-minded to ideas, but to grasp onto them, to further understand what you feel you believe. Then do the obvious, look it up. See if it is biblically sound.

Back to my original paragraph about religious organizations being the will of God. I can give an example. You are invited to go to church in Oklahoma say, where they have this really great speaker who lives there, and awesome worship time. You really want to go, because worship always glorifies God. However, you are already going to South Carolina to visit your aunt and go to Myrtle Beach and you figure you will be relaxing the whole time. So you go to Oklahoma. In South Carolina, you uncle has an unexpected hospital trip, and your aunt can't cope. One person in the hospital is deciding to end their life from a life long disease. So back up. If you decided to go to South Carolina, like you planned to, you still would have ended up in the hospital with your uncle, but this time around, you don't have to call up your aunt to tell her that Oklahoma is God's will. You are there for her and she has someone to depend on, not only that, but you end up talking to the person who would have ended their life and bring him to Christ. Or maybe a standstill, and gets him thinking about what suicide wouldn't accomplish, and that each day can be the best day of their life. So he starts spreading the Gospel to his friends. They are on fire for God, and they start spreading it. Soon enough your home, without even realizing the revolution you started by going to South Carolina.

God's will doesn't always encompass you. Most times God's will is about someone else you will help by being yourself.
