Christian Quotes About God’s Will
God’s Will is what we would choose if we knew
what God knows.
— Nancy Leigh DeMoss
This job has been given to me to do.
Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an
offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done
for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in
some other, God looks for faithfulness.
— Elisabeth Elliot
Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes
in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is
doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so
on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But
presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and
does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is
that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of –
throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up
towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little
cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it
Himself.
― C.S. Lewis
The will of God is not something you add to
your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son
of God…or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.
— Elisabeth Elliot
