Strong desires to know God’s will does not necessarily mean that we really want to do His will. Sometimes, we just want to know what God’s opinion is in this instance. And we are a curious people too. However, you cannot cajole God.
Gideon was testing God with variations again and again. Moses did the same thing. Today, at least in the New Testament, this is called “doubt”, and God is not happy with this. Read James 1:6-7.
Does God care about what we do? Yes! But does He care about your day to day activities? Yes, but He gives you that control without reservation.
So, does God care about what you eat? yes, but go ahead and eat whatever you like that you think is good and bless it.
How about clothing? Go ahead put on decent clothing and nice materials. Shoes? Wear nice ones. When to wake up? When to take your bath? Where to go today? Should I make that call? Which bus to enter to work or market?
I say to you, go ahead and do whatever you desire to do and you will be doing what He really want you to do–His Will. The reason is because He made us free-will beings. How about tougher decisions like friends, changing job and getting married?
If God is your God, He will guide your heart to make the right decisions and whatever you decide to do will be what He really want you to do. But He as to really be your God to guide your heart. This is like saying that I have to really be the child of the President to be called the president’s Son.
As many as are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
