The Will of God

As I stated in my prior blog post, I have been praying much for God's specific direction pertaining to decisions that concern future pursuits. As I have been earnestly "seeking His will" for the specifics, I stumbled across a study I jotted down several years ago entitled, "What is the Will of the Lord?", as learned from Luke chapter one. Re-reading this study has served to remind me of the will of God according to the bigger picture.
