...that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans
12:2).
There’s the
good will, the acceptable will, and the perfect will of God. Always, what the
Lord desires is for us to walk in His perfect will. The perfect will is God’s
design for you. That’s God’s definite will for your life. A clean evidence of
spiritual maturity is the ability to discern and walk in God’s perfect will for
your life. And this isn’t something that’s difficult; God’s Word expresses His
perfect thoughts and opinions, so you can trust the Word.
Psalm
119:105 describes the Word as a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your
path. The Word gives you direction and guidance. So, you need to know God’s
Word to understand and walk in His perfect will for you. Praying fervently and
consistently in tongues is equally very important in recognizing and walking in
God’s perfect will.
Praying in
tongues, amongst its other benefits, conditions your spirit to be attuned and
sensitive to the Holy Spirit, making it easier for you to receive direction and
guidance in your spirit. There’re people who are into certain jobs and
businesses because it’s good, yet that’s not God’s perfect will for them. When
you function in His good or acceptable will, you may or may not fulfil your
destiny; you may or may not achieve God’s purpose for your life. Living in the
perfect will of God is living in God’s best, because you’re in His exact plans
and purpose for you at a particular time.
In your
life, before you take any major steps or decisions, be sure to find out God’s
perfect will by spending time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and
meditation on the Word. Don’t settle for the good or acceptable will; walk in
His perfect will. It’s the safest place to be.
PRAYER: I
delight in you, O Lord! You make my paths straight and plain. Your Word is
within my heart, and I walk circumspectly, in your perfect will at every stage
of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 John 2:17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of
God abideth for ever.
Colossians
1:9-10 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray
for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the
Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God;
