First Steps to Knowing Gods Will

The book begins with the premise that God made us, knows our most intimate desires, and has a specific plan for us individually. He says since we are God's highest earthly creatures, i.e., made in His image, it is only logical that He intends for us to accmomplish certain things during our lives on earth and not live in confusion or uncertainty. He talks about God using our natural inclinations, our environment, and the circumstances around us in discovering this plan.It's conforting to know that God takes the initiative in directing our paths if we seek Him, according to the Bible. He promises to continually guide us. We are God's work and we are called to do good works, we're told in Ephesians 2:10.His interpretation of Psalm 37:4 is particularly insightful. He tells us God will give us the desires of our heart if we meet one condition, to delight ourselves in the Lord. Obeying God is a sign that we delight in Him and His ways. This book is a powerfully encouraging one which I strongly recommend.
