1083 When Jesus Scolded Martha Pt-2 & Proving God' Will Pt-1

This continues with Martha vs Mary and then begins to look at why we should be proving that the things we do in serving God are actually what God desires us to do.
We all believe that everything we do in the name of God or for Him is His perfect will. If not, we would take God more seriously and act on Romans 12:2 where we are told: "Ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God".
We think that if we are doing what our pastors tell us to, it must be God's perfect will, but Proverbs 12:2 tells us: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death". That is our conscience showing us right from wrong. It also leads us to believe that if we follow it, everything will come out all right, but we also know that, "All have sinned", from Romans 3:23 and that even if we had followed our conscience we would still die as sinners.
In Isaiah 55:8 we are told, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD". That's why we should be proving that what we are doing is actually what the LORD desires from us.
