God’s Will VS Samson’s Will.
Judges 13:24-15. The Spirit of the LORD began to stir him.
Judges 14:4. from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines.
Knowing God’s Will. Three distinctions.
1. Sovereign decretive will, the will by which God brings to pass whatsoever He decrees. This is hidden to us until it happens. “Mysterious ways” Ruth, Ester “GCC”
2. Preceptive will is God's revealed law or commandments, which we lack the power to obey nor the right to break. 10 Commandments: Don’t Do’s and Do dos.
3. Will of disposition describes God's attitude or disposition. It reveals what is pleasing to Him.
