INTRODUCTION

The title eventually chosen for this book was not my first choice. Unless you have written a book, you might not know that there are certain constraints, one of them being the length of the title! Here was my first choice: One Of The Devil’s Deceptions Is Leading Believers To Think That God’s Will Is A Burden, And Not A Delight! Apart from the length of the title, what was also not acceptable to me was to capitalize the word ‘devil,’ where I usually capitalize only the word ‘God!’ But coming back to the above title, what I liked about this title is that it sets forth a very important truth, which is that God’s will definitely is a delight, and not a burden!

The only reason that the devil does not want believers to carry out God’s will is due to the fact that he is opposed to God, and so will do everything in his power, as a created angelic being, to try to prevent God’s will from being carried out during the ages of time. And since believers are God’s children on earth, then the devil knows that they are the only ones who will ever carry out God’s will, which is why they are his special target. Since the devil cannot touch God directly, then this means that he will try to prevent God’s plans from being carried out on earth by seeking to prevent believers from doing God’s will. And one of his deceptions is leading believers to think that God’s will is a burden, and not a delight! And so, God has led His servant to write this book so as to help believers clearly see that God’s will is definitely a delight, and is in fact a foretaste of Heaven, since that is all we will ever be doing in Heaven once we get there. So why not start now in doing the will of God and finding it a delight! Therefore, that is what we will be doing in this book, looking at what it means to do God’s will.

And what also needs to be noticed here is that this book has been added under The Practical Helps Library, which means that the book is being written to be as practical as possible by drawing examples from my own life as a believer, now approaching 39 years as a child of God (since January 14th, 1980). In other words, possibly one reason that God has led His servant to write this book is that He knows that I have discovered this as a truth in my own life already, namely that doing God’s will definitely is a delight, and not a burden. That is why God’s Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, told His followers at Matthew 11:29,30, [29] Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. As we will see later in the book, God’s Son did nothing but God His Father’s will while on earth, so it is not surprising that He calls all believers to follow in His steps!

And before closing this Introduction, there should be a few personal words mentioned, since we are all somewhat curious by nature. So after completing 21 years of formal education and then spending almost 28 years working in Project Engineering and Management in the Corporate offices of a large utility, God called His servant as a non-denominational evangelist in early 1999, and then sent him out more than two thousand miles away from family and friends, to the place of service God has assigned, which is where His servant has been, and is still serving Him, as evangelist, counselor, author, editor, and publisher. The author is a widower with three adopted children, all now married with a family of their own.
