God's will and relationship

One of the things I know is that God's will for my life always comes out of relationship with Him.

A deep, personal, intimate spiritual relationship with the Holy Spirit.

The writer to the Proverbs tells us in Proverbs 3:5,6, to "trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and lean not on our own understanding - in all our ways acknowledge (or know him) and he will make our paths straight."

The Hebrew word for acknowledge (or know - in the Hebrews "yada") mean to know by observation, investigation, reflection or fist hand experience.  But the highest level of "yada" is direct intimate contact or "life-giving intimacy" as in marriage.

In other words, as we are intimate with God in our time spent with him it conceives or gives birth to the blessings and victories of God in our lives - and we know his will.

What's the key word here?  Relationship, relationship, relationship.

Are you seeking after God's will?  Spent time in relationship with God.  Be patient.  And His will WILL come for your life.
