Discovering God’s Will: Insights from Pastor Thom O’Leary’s Teachings
For quite some time now, most of us have probably asked, ‘What does God have in store for me,’ or ‘Is this the right way for me.’ These are some of the concerns that believers have had for ages. Fortunately, Pastor Thom O’Leary, an experienced spiritual leader and author, offers practical and insightful teachings that help simplify this complex topic. His messages help explain how and why God should be recognized in our mundane activities.
When Life Is Not Clear, Where is The Will of God then? There are always times in every person’s life when you ask yourself, What do I do now? Thom O’Leary advises that one does not have to know God’s will on every single decision. Rather, it is to believe God in what is in front of you. From the teachings of Pastor Thom, God sometimes works in ways that one can only see on the road after you take a step of faith at a time.
How Do We Figure Out What God’s Will Is? Thom O’Leary teaches that three basic ways can help to know God’s will: Prayer: This is where it all begins. Prayer, again, as Pastor Thom would note, is not just one way in which God should be reached for direction. It is important at this point to still the mind and spirit. Scripture: God’s Word is the best compass. Pastor Thom O’Leary has also referenced Scripture, encouraging the rest of us to be in a quest for wisdom in texts on the themes of love, forgiveness, and service.
Community: Sometimes, it is the people around us who are critical and help in looking out for the plan that God has. Pastor Thom O’Leary is of the view that God is heard in wise men and women in society. People who are in a position to speak into our lives, and we respect their opinions, can sometimes help clarify what we feel God is asking us to do.
What If We Make Mistakes? There is a common anxiety that many people feel where they fear that they may not be able to fulfill God’s will or fear making the wrong choices. Thom O’Leary teaches that God’s grace covers our missteps. “God’s will isn’t a tightrope. We have to walk perfectly,” he says. It is quite the opposite of that. It is rather like walking on a wide crowd of grace and love, and whenever we go off the track, God is there to help us out. This view helps one to be free in the sense that no matter how much we try, there is no way we can ‘mess up’ God’s plan for us all completely. As Father, God is always there, even on those bends, helping us to be fruitful in seeking His will.
Moving Forward with Confidence The teachings of Thom O’Leary concerning the will of God have a common and practical approach as well as trust. Step by step, we find out God’s will for our lives through prayer, the word of God and the body of Christ. We may encounter various situations, but as we press on, there is an assurance that God is leading us through.
