11 “I was blinded by the intense light and had to be led by the hand to Damascus by my companions. 12 A man named Ananias lived there. He was a godly man, deeply devoted to the law, and well regarded by all the Jews of Damascus. 13 He came and stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, regain your sight.’ And that very moment I could see him!
14 “Then he told me, ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and hear him speak. 15 For you are to be his witness, telling everyone what you have seen and heard. 16 What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.’

- God wants us to be "filled with the knowledge of his will" (Col 1:9), key question is not right or wrong but "is this the will of God for me?"
- God wants us to understand His will (Eph 5:17, Ps 103:7)
- We should do it from the heart (Eph 6:6, Matt 7:21)
- When we do this we are able to discover and follow God's will (Rom 12:2)
- Our goal "Stand...complete in all the will of God (Col 4:12), to be mature in God's will
