Ellen White teaches that knowing God’s will is a process that involves several key steps: 1. Surrender and Earnestness: God reveals His will to those who are truly earnest and anxious to be guided. It is important to have a sincere desire to know and do God’s will, rather than simply following personal inclinations. She encourages us to make the question, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” the earnest inquiry of our hearts (3T 466.4; 4T 53.3). 2. Submission and Prayer: When seeking God’s will, we should pray with earnestness but also with a spirit of submission, saying, “Nevertheless not my will, but Thine, be done.” God knows what is best for us, even when we do not understand (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study of God’s Word: The Bible is the primary source for understanding God’s will. Through daily study and consecration, we gain the knowledge necessary for true godliness (8T 63; CE 84.1). 4. Obedience and Practice: As we obey the light we already have, God will reveal more to us. By faithfully performing every duty that is clear to us, we will be enabled to understand and do those things that are currently uncertain (SC 111.2; MH 465.2). 5. Consecration and Service: By choosing to serve God and surrendering our will to Him, He works in us to accomplish His good pleasure, bringing our whole nature under Christ’s control (MH 176.2). In summary, Ellen White’s writings emphasize that knowing God’s will comes through earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, and practical obedience. As we walk in the light we have, God will continue to reveal more of His will to us.
