Knowing God's Will

The awesomeness of God is beyond comprehension, and therefore we have a tendency to relegate God to a mythical part of our lives. However, when God created man He wanted a relationship with His creation. There is nothing special about any of us that the creator of the universe would be drawn to us. Rather we get this audience with Him, because He decided that this was what He wanted when He created us.

God is not hiding from us, He tells us that when we seek Him with our whole heart, we will find Him. To find God's will specifically or generally in our lives is a matter of deciding that we are not going to relay on the knowledge we have, but acknowledging God in all matters of our life, knowing that God will then direct us.

 Pro 3:5,6 NASB Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Pro 18:2  A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.
Jas 1:5  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Whether we are a scientist seeking to understand the creation of the universe; a bicycle designer wanting to design a specific type bike, or a mother wanting to help her young child walk in the right paths of life, our own knowledge is insufficient. God know's the best answer for us in any circumstance and is eager to guide us, that  presuppose's that we are wanting to be lead. If we come to God telling Him what His will is, we are not seeking but rather guiding. I don't think our creator needs our guidance and we won't get His if we're not seeking.
