What does the Bible say about understanding God's will?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that understanding God's will comes from recognizing His sovereign control over all things and His revelation in Scripture.

In Ephesians 5:17, Paul exhorts believers not to be unwise but to understand what the will of the Lord is. This understanding is rooted in the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty; His will is always accomplished, and there are no secret things in the sense of uncertainty for those that belong to Him. The Bible reveals God’s will, and it's necessary for us to seek this understanding through His Word. As Moses wrote in Deuteronomy 29:29, the secret things belong to the Lord, but the things revealed belong to us and our children.
Scripture References: Ephesians 5:17, Deuteronomy 29:29, John 13:7
