DISCERNING GOD’S PERFECT WILL
November 11, 2023
“Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.” – Romans 12:2
Have you ever wondered about God’s will for your life? Romans 12:2 encourages us not to conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, enabling us to discern God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Understanding God’s will can often feel like navigating through a maze. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by life’s choices and uncertainties. Yet, God desires to guide you in His perfect plan.
We see this through the story of Esther, a young Jewish woman living in Persia. Her life took an unexpected turn when she was chosen as queen, a position that gave her a unique platform. When her people faced a threat of annihilation, her cousin Mordecai encouraged her to approach the king and intercede for her people.
Esther faced a crucial decision that would determine the course of her life. She needed discernment to understand God’s will in that moment. Through fasting, prayer, and seeking God’s guidance, Esther gained clarity on her purpose—to save her people from destruction.
Esther’s story teaches us that discerning God’s will requires intentional seeking and a surrendered heart. It involves aligning our desires with His and trusting that His will is indeed good, pleasing, and perfect.
God’s will may not always match our expectations, but it is always for our ultimate good. Like Esther, you may find yourself at pivotal moments in life where decisions must be made. In those moments, seek God’s face and allow Him to guide your steps.
Romans 12:2 encourages us to renew our minds through Scripture, prayer, and seeking God’s wisdom. As your mind is transformed, you’ll become better equipped to discern God’s will, leading to a life filled with His blessings.
So take heart in knowing that God’s will for your life is indeed good, pleasing, and perfect. Embrace the transformative power of God’s guidance, and may you continually seek His will, trusting that He has a beautiful plan uniquely designed for you.
