BEYOND OURSELVES (People Who Can Help) (5 of 8)
The Will of God
Rev. Jim Henry
Proverbs 15:22

Excerpts from an E-mail: A brother in Christ,
facing a situation, writes, "Throughout this we've

"I have been asked to join a company and to
assume responsibility for all their residential
development which includes taking over a large project

company they are not in a position to offer a
meaningful salary for this activity. Instead we've

Have you ever faced a situation like that or one
comparable where you wanted to know God's will and
God's way? You know God has a way of speaking to us
and sometimes we wish it were easier than we find it
and that sometimes God would label it and say, "From
God to you,” and that would be it. But it is not
always that easy. Yet we know that God often speaks to
