Finding God's Will

I have often been at places in my life where I couldn’t seem to find the ever-elusive will of God in my life.  I’ve heard it described as not being able to hear God too.  I found the answer, at least for me, in Romans 12:2.  “Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind.  Then you will be able to know the will of God.” (tev)  I have found in my life that when I’m in that place where I’m desperately seeking God’s path for me and just can’t seem to hear His voice that it’s not that He doesn’t want me to hear him but that I’m polluted.  I have to ask myself, where am I conforming to the world’s standards instead of His standards.  Usually that is where I find the problem.  It’s hard work to keep our ambition in the check and our “master ambition”, as Oswald Chambers called it, always in front of us.  What is the master ambition?  2 Corinthians tells us that we work and labor that we might be accepted by God.  In other words, our work is to please Him and that is the key.  “God’s will is not a great mystery to be solved but it’s an awesome path just waiting to be uncovered.”  Where are you conforming today?  Think about it.....
