God's will may indeed be a mystery at times, but it is not mysterious. We do not need to "lay down a fleece" like some did in the Old Testament. We do not need to auger Jesus' plan for our life by selecting some random verse from the Bible and try attaching some sense to it like the Moravians and others in more recent history have tried to do.

We can be sure we are following God's will if we have an ongoing personal relationship with Jesus, if we are aware of his general will, and if we properly exercise the freedom we have in Jesus. The most difficult issue is having the boldness to be obedient and to act on what we know.
