Ephesians 5:17 ESV
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
As Christians, we must not be foolish. The opposite of foolishness is to understand the will of the Lord. But how can we understand the Lord's will?
First, we must diligently study His Word. His Will will always align with His Word. Not knowing His teachings & commandments, we have no basis to make our decisions. How to act according to His Word is the basis to understand His Will.
Second, we need to walk close to Him. That's to be mindful of God in all our deeds, knowing that He searches us inside out and know what we do in secret. By thinking of God before we do a thing, we will be sensitive to His Will whether we ought to do it.
Third, we need to seek His Will and His guidance in our walk, through asking in prayer, through asking advices and modeling Godly people.
When we seek His Will in our walk, He will lead us in the right path for the sake of His reputation. He will bless us, provide us and protect us. He will make all things work out for our good (although not for our easy & comfort). So it's important for us to study His Word, walk mindful of His watching, and ask Him in prayer & through Godly people. With that, we will live a blessed life under God.
