Aligning Our Will to His

I have been trying for several weeks now to find the words to describe what God is doing in our lives. I was reading my devotions this morning out of My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers and he put it into the perfect words.
Joshua 24:15 "...Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..."
"A person's will is embodied in the actions of the whole person. I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action. I must will to obey, and must will to receive God's Spirit. When God gives me a vision of truth, there is never a question of what He will do, but only of what I will do.
The Lord has been placing in front of each of us some big proposals and plans... Recall the moment when you were saved, or first recognized Jesus, or realized some truth. It was easy then to yield your allegiance to God. Immediately recall those moments each time the Spirit of God brings some new proposal before you. '...Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve....' Your choice must be a deliberate determination- it is not something into which you automatically drift. Everything else in your life will be help in temporary suspension until you make a decision. The proposal is between you and God - do not 'confer with flesh and blood' about it (Gal. 1:6). With every new proposal, the people around us seem to become more and more isolated, and that is where the tension develops. God allows the opinion of His other saints to matter to you, and yet you become less and less certain that others really understand the step yo are taking. You have no business trying to find out where God is leading - the only thing God will explain to you is Himself.
Openly declare to Him, 'I will be faithful.' But remember that as soon as you choose to be faithful to Jesus Christ, 'you are witnesses against yourselves...' (Joshua 24:22). Don;t consult with other Christians, but simply and freely declare before Him, 'I WILL SERVE YOU!' Will to be faithful - and give other people credit for being faithful too."
God has definitely been bringing new proposals to Jason and me. Not only that, but He is opening doors for us to complete His will. In doing so, we are going against all common sense and most of those around us do not understand what we are doing. We are boldly saying to God, "WE WILL SERVE YOU!" He has called us to something greater; to something different, and we may not know what it fully is yet but if He has called us and we will go. We are putting our trust and our lives into His hands for Him to be our provider, our protector, and our deliverer. He is going before us, making the footsteps in which we are to follow. We may not see where they lead, but we will place our lives in His one step at a time, aligning our will to His.
