Devotional: But how may we know God's will?

But how may we know God's will? That is not always easy. Yet the difficulty is not in Him. He does not wish us to grope painfully in the dark...There is a more excellent way. Let the heart be quieted and stilled in the presence of God...Let the voice of the Son of God hush into perfect rest the storms that sweep the lake of the inner life and ruffle its calm surface...Let the whole being be centered on God Himself. And then, remembering that all who lack wisdom are to ask it of God, and that Jesus Christ is already made unto us wisdom, let us quietly appropriate Him, in that capacity, by faith; and then go forward. ...It is an immense help in any difficulty to say, "I take thee, Lord Jesus, as my wisdom," and to do the next thing, nothing doubting, assured that He will not permit those who trust in Him to be ashamed.
