Living in the Will of God
Living in the will of God is not difficult or complicated. As a matter of common sense, living in God's will is God's will. Surely? Why then would our Heavenly Father put it beyond the reach of any of His children? Rather, simple logic dictates that it cannot possibly be the preserve of the spiritual elite, but that living in the will of God is for everyone.
What you'll discover is that the only real obstacles to living in the will of God are between our ears. This must be so if the grace of God is always sufficient. Obeying Him doesn't rely on our own resources or abilities. Neither is it dependent on any particular situation or circumstance. The Lord always supplies what He later requires. What obstructs is an amalgam of misinformation, misunderstanding and misbelief. Lodged in our thinking and reinforced by those around us, these keep us bogged down in a veritable quagmire of unbelief. Fortunately there is Good News at hand. The Lord has provided a way out of that swamp. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation. It brings light and life, imparts faith and releases the power of the Spirit. Hence the Bible's confident assertion that those who know the truth are set free by it. The Gospel is not information, but revelation that enables transformation. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation, and it delivers.
This little book is unashamedly a Gospel "how to", with the emphasis on Gospel, because Jesus has already put in the hard yards. Living in the will of God relies on His efforts, and not our own. As the truths of the Gospel are applied, faith arises in hearts and minds are renewed. God is the initiator; we are the responders. He loved first. We love in return because we are loved.

Ever since I began my journey in trying to be a good Christian woman after being inspired by the publication of my first two Christian books to start writing my Christian blog, I've had an ongoing and growing relationship with the Lord. And it has been through this relationship and through His that I've discovered that we, as Christians, can realize the meaning and the principles in understanding God's will when we acquire the ability to walk with Him.
In nurturing our relationship with the Lord, we must spend time reading His words whenever we have a chance, as well as spending time in prayer. When we pursue the Lord's disciplines, He will ultimately begin divulging His plans to us. However, before He does this, we must be devoted to doing anything He asks us to do.
In regards to this, we are told in PROVERBS 3:5-6 [NLT], the following:
[5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
[6] Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
In writing this book, the author, Gavin Cox, presents to his readers the knowledge in applying the words of the Lord in the New Covenant that we possess to our daily existence. And in doing so, Mr. Cox does it in a very demonstrative, down-to-earth instructional manner. For wanting his readers to live their lives according to God's will, I've given Mr. Cox 5 STARS for his endeavor here.
