For example, the GPS directions. I simply do not understand people who can get in a vehicle traveling at high rates of speed on multi-lane highways and then only receive verbal information for one step at a time along the route. No, thank you. That is essentially the same as driving blindfolded!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing against Siri (or in my case, Nigel), but when it comes to getting from point A to point B, I am not a turn-by-turn kind of gal. I need advance information. Therefore, I will stick to my low-tech method of trip planning. Call me old school, but I want to know every single turn I\u2019ll be making on the way to my destination <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before I even put the car in gear.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 Rather than trusting my destiny to a device, I get on the computer before I\u00a0 leave the house and get a bird\u2019s-eye view of my route. I want to see the whole map and have it in my head, so that as I drive I am confident that I\u2019m heading in the right direction.<\/span><br \/>\n<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I can feel your eyes rolling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I\u2019d venture to guess that even if you place complete trust in your cell phone\u2019s navigation system, when it comes to fulfilling God\u2019s call on your life, you share my desire to see every step along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Is God\u2019s Will for My Life?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the past two years I have been meeting with a wonderful group of women. Although there are nearly forty years between the youngest and the oldest members of the group, each one of us is in a season of transition right now. (I mean, aren\u2019t we always?)\u00a0 Without fail our list of prayer concerns each week carries requests for clarity, direction, guidance\u2026(you get the picture). Whether the issue is what job to take, what to major in, or where to live, we want clear directions \u2013 in advance \u2013 about what to do in each situation so that we can be sure we are carrying out God\u2019s will for our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, I\u2019ve realized recently that maybe our requests for direction may not actually be God\u2019s will. We want a map before we go, but God doesn\u2019t often operate that way. Instead of producing detailed maps of our lives \u2013\u00a0complete with a satellite perspective \u2013 God seems to prefer the \u201cLewis and Clark\u201d method of mapping. In his book <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Glorious Dark, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">author A.J. Swoboda notes that the explorers set out on their journey west, paying attention along the way and taking copious notes as they went. The map, however, was not completed in all its detail until they had survived the trip. Swoboda then observes, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMost maps are written as we walk.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps God\u2019s answer to my prayer for direction is as simple as this: \u201cStart walking.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am reminded of Pastor Clint\u2019s story a few weeks ago about agonizing over discerning God\u2019s will regarding summer job opportunities. His wise mother advised him to just pick one and see what God did with it. It turned out to be great advice. Because isn\u2019t it so easy to get twisted with worry that our every choice must be God\u2019s will <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or else we\u2019ve failed<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? It can be paralyzing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Understanding God\u2019s Will<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book of Romans suggests that such worry is probably wasted. According to Romans 4, Abraham was counted as righteous not because of the path he took, but because of his belief that God would fulfill His promises. God made a promise to Abraham and then told him to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">start walking<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It wasn\u2019t the act of walking that made Abraham right with God. Nor was it getting each individual step exactly right along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What God counted as righteous was the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> faith that was proven <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Abraham\u2019s walking. In fact, when the Lord called Abraham, the instructions were to leave his home and his family and go. But God didn\u2019t actually tell him where \u2013 or even how to get there. God\u2019s words to Abraham were, \u201cGo to the land I will show you\u201d (Genesis 12:1). There was no forwarding address.\u00a0 Abraham had to start walking by faith and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continue<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> walking by faith for a<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> really long time<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, trusting that the Lord was taking him to where the covenant would be fulfilled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God\u2019s will was for Abraham to walk with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along the way, Abraham proved himself to be at various times brave, generous, and obedient, and at other times cowardly, selfish, and foolish. In a word, Abraham was human. His righteousness was not from his actions, which were wildly inconsistent. In fact, there were numerous times when his actions were decidedly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> God\u2019s will. (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">coughcoughHagar<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) Rather, what God counted as righteous was Abraham\u2019s belief \u2013 against all odds and in spite of his own failures \u2013 that God keeps His promises. Walking with God is what made him righteous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I find this oddly liberating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not that the Lord doesn\u2019t have a plan for my life. I just think that He leaves a lot of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">room for creativity (mine and His) in carrying out that plan. It frees me of the paralysis of needing to have every step exactly correct. And while I don\u2019t think Abraham\u2019s story is permission for me to treat sin lightly, I do find comfort in the fact that God has factored my fallen nature into His perfect plan. He knows with whom He is working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe that\u2019s the thing. When Jesus called His disciples, His directions were concise: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFollow Me.\u201d Perhaps it\u2019s as simple as that. God\u2019s will isn\u2019t about me getting the steps right, but how He works in me as I walk with Him.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/discovergrace.com\/home\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/discovergrace.com\/grace-church-locations\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in-person<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn more about Finding Freedom in the book of Romans.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As much as I like having a phone that allows me to make calls, send notes, and take pictures, there are some functions that I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll ever completely&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":104601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,46,106,38],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-98682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-christian-life","8":"category-magazine","9":"category-spiritual-growth","10":"category-theology"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Walking Out God\u2019s Will - Grace Church<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It\u2019s not that the Lord doesn\u2019t have a plan for my life.
