Reflection
Points:
According to Romans 12:2, how can we know the will of God?
Read Matthew 7:21 (below). What are some other ways we can know the will of God for our lives?
Read John 6:35-40. Jesus is clear about the will of God in this passage. What is it according to verse 40?
What are some priorities in your life that you have been neglecting?
Is there activity or responsibility in your life that needs to be pruned, in order for your life to be healthier?

Verses:
Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (NIV)
Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (NIV)
John 6:38, "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me." (NIV)
Hebrews 10:5-7, "Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, 'Here I am-it is written about me in the scroll- I have come to do your will, O God.'" (NIV)
Ephesians 5:15-17, "Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." (NIV)
