This is God's will in a nutshell:
"You must not do as they do in the land of Egypt where you have been living, and you must not do as they do in the land Canaan into which I am about to bring you." Lev. 18:3
Don't repeat the past. Don't conform to the future. Stay right with me, in my word, regardless of the environment.
You want to know God's will for you? Want to know God's plan for your life? That's it. And it is so simple, yet I walk around lamenting, "oh, what's God's plan for me?" and "how will I know it when it is in front of me?"
The whole message of Deuteronomy is God (through Moses) recapping the exodus and 40 years in the desert just as Israel arrives at the Jordan and is waiting to cross. But it is REALLY about God's Will and it applies to all believers Israel or Christian (adopted into Israel). It's this: Here's where you have been, what I liberated you from....then, I took you through a process to renew your mind and train it on me....and now, over there is where I am sending you.
It's as thought God is saying, "in order to fulfill my will you need to, READ MY WORD, MEDITATE ON IT, DON'T STRAY FROM IT, and you will prosper. Don't go back to your old ways, and don't conform to new ways - stay in MY way wherever you go in life, relationships, business, the world. That's God's Will for me.
