Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
What is God’s will for your life?  Does the Bible say?  How do you find God’s best?

The Bible does not have verses about whether it is better to eat at Burger King or Wendy’s.  But it does clearly state what pleases God.  It gives sweeping principles about what is God’s will for your life.  As you follow these principles, you will learn to delight and please God.  Then the promise of Psalm 37:4 can begin to come true in your life.
John MacArthur, in his sermon “Found: God’s Will,” gives us six steps to delighting in the Lord and aligning with His will.
1. Salvation: This sounds obvious but must be recognized as foundational. It is impossible for an unbeliever to know God’s will because he cannot accomplish the next steps without the Spirit of God. click here for more information

2. Spirit-Filling (Ephesians 5:18): We must saturate ourselves in His Word for Him to be in control.
3. Sanctification (1 Thessalonians 4:3): Exercising control over our bodies. Become conformed to the image of Christ in every way.
4. Submission (1 Peter 2:13-17): Submit to the authorities God has placed in your life.
5. Suffering (1 Peter 3:17, Matthew 10:24-25): Suffer according to the will of God. Be willing to stand up and be counted for Christ. If you live a godly life in this society, you will suffer.
6. Choose. If the above five steps are in place at a particular time in your life, God will have implanted His righteous desires in your heart and you get to choose, knowing that you will be deciding within His will, prayerfully being guided by the Holy Spirit. You will learn to sense when you are pleasing God and when you feel distant from Him.  Enjoy God.  Enjoy God’s best!
