Counsel #2 — Lining Up With God’s Will

Picture: Counsel #2 — Lining Up With God’s WillCMH 60.1

God has a Plan A for our lives. If we ask in true faith, He will reveal that plan to us so that we can make decisions that are in line with His best intentions for us. If we miss His voice and leading and choose Plan B, He still will never leave us nor forsake us, but will ultimately help bring good out of our choice — if we let Him.^{[64]https://adventist.news/news/how-to-make-godly-decisions}CMH 60.2

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2CMH 60.3

“The tempted one needs to understand the true force of the will. This is the governing power in the nature of man—the power of decision, of choice. Everything depends on the right action of the will…. Many will go down to ruin while hoping and desiring to overcome their evil propensities. They do not yield the will to God. They do not choose to serve Him.” Ellen White in The Ministry of Healing, p. 176.1CMH 60.4
