Knowing God Through Obedience

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! (Matthew 7:7-11 NIV)

Many seek God's will when they come to crossroads of life. Whom shall I marry? Which course should I take in school? Where should I stay? What job should I take? But most of the time, there will be no direct answer in the Bible for these questions.

It is good to know God's will in our life. You will know God's will if you know God. The best way to know God is to obey His explicit will given in the Bible. When you find that God's commandments in the Bible is true, you will know Him and increase your faith in Him. You will become convinced that God has your best interest at heart. Your worldview will change and you will seek to please God.

Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4 ESV)
