I like the way that Dr. Leslie D. Weatherhead described God's will:<br /><br /><br /><br />God's INTENTIONAL WILL is for our good. This is Adam and Eve in the Garden. When God created Adam and Eve, it was His intention that they live forever and be happy. But they sinned and were expelled from Paradise.<br /><br />His CIRCUMSTANTIAL WILL is because of the circumstances in our lives. It is within this will that we find God's permissive will. This is Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is Job 42:2: "I know (faith) that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted."; It is the all of Romans 8:28, that glorious rod and staff of the grieving: "We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." I know (wisdom) I can (possibility) do (accomplishment) all things whatsoever He asks!<br /><br />His ULTIMATE WILL is for His glory and our good. This is Christ's resurrection and our resurrection. It is us all in the New Earth.<br /><br />More <a href="http://redeemed.kansascitybob.com/2010/08/will-of-god.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.com
