How can you know God's will for your life? It begins with understanding how to make decisions. It would be wonderful if we could always make the right decision, always make the wise choice, and always do the right thing. Here is the good news – God wants to help you make those very kinds of choices and decisions in your life. The way He does that is by revealing His will for you. As Dr. Merritt elaborates, God wants to guide you. He wants to lead you. He wants you to know His will.
"Knowing God’s will begins with complete trust in God. If you are here today and you don’t have a relationship with God through His son, Jesus Christ, I have to be honest with you. You cannot know God’s will for the rest of your life until you get in on His will for this part of your life which is to come to Him through Jesus Christ. The first step to getting yourself in position in knowing God’s will is to have a relationship with God through Jesus." --Dr. Merritt
