Ellen White’s writings offer clear guidance on how to know God’s will. She emphasizes several key principles: 1. Surrender and Earnestness: God reveals His will to those who are truly earnest and anxious to be guided. It’s important to make knowing and doing God’s will a central aim, rather than following personal inclinations (3T 466.4; 4T 53.3). 2. Submission and Prayer: When seeking God’s will, we should pray with sincerity, but always with a spirit of submission—saying, “Not my will, but Thine, be done” (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Obedience to Known Duty: If you are willing to do God’s will, you will be given more understanding. Start by faithfully performing the duties that are already clear to you, and God will reveal more as you walk in obedience (SC 111.2). 4. Study of God’s Word: God’s will is revealed in the Bible. Diligent study and daily consecration help us understand His purposes (8T 63; CE 84.1). 5. Faith and Works: A true desire to know and do God’s will is shown by living by faith and putting that faith into action (5T 644.1). 6. Humble Obedience Brings More Light: As you walk in humble obedience, God will continue to reveal more of His will to you (MH 465.2). In summary, knowing God’s will involves earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, obedience to what is already revealed, diligent Bible study, and a willingness to act on what you know. As you walk in obedience, God will reveal more of His will to you.
