GOD’S WILL.

God’s will is His eternal plan for all of creation. The “will of God” can be understood in two dimensions: God’s sovereign will and God’s will of command.
God’s Sovereign Will refers to God’s sovereign control over all things. It cannot be broken and always comes to pass.

Daniel 4:35 says, “He does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, ‘What have you done?’”
When we talk about God’s sovereign will, it involves His governance over all that comes to pass, extending to the smallest details of nature and human decisions.

God’s Will of Command is what He commands or desires us to do. Unlike His sovereign will, this can be disobeyed or neglected. For example, Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). Not everyone does the will of His Father, and Jesus makes this clear.

As a Christian, it is important to understand both dimensions of God’s will. This knowledge will help you appreciate and align with His sovereign will and take action to obey His will of command.

Read: Isaiah 53:10, ESV “Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.”

Pray: Father, help me to understand and align with Your sovereign will and obey Your will of command. May I walk in Your purpose and fulfill Your desires for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
