Will

John Perkins from his book "A Quiet Revolution": people say to me, 'I want to know God's will for my life'. Then I find out that they have already decided what careers they are going to pursue, who they are going to marry, where they are going to live, how much they will earn in salary, how many children they will have and what kind of car they are going to buy. This happens with people preparing for full-time ministry as well as secular vocations. It is not God's will that these people are looking for, it is their own will. They are not asking 'What is God's program on earth and how do I fit in?' Their question is more like 'How does God fit into my life?'
