Knowing and Doing the Will of God

by Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King,
LifeWay Press, Nashville, Tennessee.

Summary of Unit 9

Day 1

• I come to know God by experience as I obey Him and He accomplishes His work through me.
• If I love God, I will obey Him.
• Obedience is the outward expression of my love of God.
• Faith that does not obey in actions is dead.
• Obedience is my moment of truth.
• God blesses those who are obedient to Him.

Day 2

• Obedience is doing what is commanded.
• I should obey what I already know to be God's will.
• When God sees I am faithful and obedient in a little, He will be able to trust me with more.
• God often gives second chances.
• Sometimes He does not give a second chance.
• Disobedience is costly.
• God is interested in developing my character.
• Affirmation comes after the obedience.

Day 3

• When I obey God, He will accomplish through me what He has purposed to do.
• God wants to reveal Himself to me and those around me.
• I will be blessed when God does a special, God-sized work through me.
• I need to be very careful that any testimony about what God has done only gives glory to Him.
• "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord" (I Cor. 1:31).

Day 4 & 5

• I will allow Him to take all the time He needs to shape me for His purposes.
• Any assignment that comes from the Maker of the universe is an important assignment.
• God calls me to a relationship.
• I won't leave the relationship and take things into my own hands.
• Let Him work out the details in His timing.
• Know the ways of God so thoroughly that if something doesn't measure up to God's ways, I will know it is not from Him and turn away from it.
• God will never give me an assignment that He will not enable me to complete.
