Focus Verses: Romans 12: 1-2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Some people say that finding the will of God is very difficult. But in reality God has made it easy for us to know, because it’s in the Bible. Read our focus verses again in Romans 12: 1-2. God has given us a conditional promise. The promise is we can know the good, acceptable, perfect will of God. But first we must do what He tells us to do. That is we must present ourselves to Him, and not be conformed to this world. Sounds easy to find the will of God, doesn’t it? What does it mean to present ourselves to Him? I think it means we are to live a life of righteousness. How can we live a life of righteousness in a world filled with sin? God will transform you, change you and help you if you have fellowship with Him as it says in verse 2.
So the question is not, should I be a fisherman, or a doctor, or a lawyer, or a school teacher, or a farmer? If you start living Romans 12: 1-2 God is going to show you step by step what He wants you to do. God has called all of us to glorify Him with our lives, no matter what our job is. We need Christian fishermen. We need Christian teachers. We need Christian doctors. We need faithful Christian pastors. God has given each of us gifts to be used to glorify Him. God will not withhold His perfect will from any of us.
