In this sermon, Pastor David addresses one of faith's most pressing questions: "How can I know God's will for my life?" He begins by establishing God's general will for all believers through Micah 6:8, which calls us to "act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." This universal calling includes defending the weak and oppressed (Psalm 82:3-4), practicing mercy even when undeserved, and maintaining a humble daily walk with God.
Pastor David then distinguishes between decisions where God gives us free will to choose and situations where God has a specific plan. For discerning God's specific will, he offers a practical checklist: dedicated prayer, Scripture study, seeking wise counsel (Proverbs 12:15), and sometimes asking for a sign as Gideon did with the fleece (Judges 6:36-40). Ultimately, discovering God's will requires surrender, as Paul writes in Romans 12:1-2, transforming our minds and submitting ourselves fully to God so that "he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
