105: God teach us your will | Psalm 143:10

In order to find God’s will for your life, we first must allow God to teach us His will we find in the Bible.

What is God’s will for my life? This is one of the top two or three questions many Christians have. What is God’s will? What is my purpose? Today’s One Verse says something very interesting: “Teach me to do your will...God.” Teach me? Not show me or lead me. Teach me. Why? Because there are two “God’s wills” for our lives. There is the purpose/God’s will many of us think of first. What job am I supposed to have? Where should I live? Who should I marry? What does my future look like? And these are honest questions we all need to answer. BUT… There is another purpose and God’s will that we find in the Bible. This “God’s will” is the same for ALL Christians. I have found verse after verse after verse that says, “If you want to do God’s will…” followed by love others or pray or spend time with God. That is what I believe Psalm 143 is talking about. Teach us, God to do the will of yours that we find already laid out in the Bible. If we do, I truly believe the purpose and God’s will that is specific to us will be much easier to discover!

One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
