Do We Try to Do God's Will?

That was the case with the Apostle Paul in the Bible in the New Testament.  It says in Colossians 1:1[Portion] "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God..."  So Apostle Paul did not make a decision for himself what he was called to do but it was God who called him into his service.  So Apostle Paul's ministry was the will of God for him.  In other words, when Apostle Paul executed on his ministry calling, he was trying to do the will of God.  Against this backdrop, we have to examine ourselves.  Are we doing what God has called us to do?  Do we try to do the will of God for ourselves in our everyday lives?  In other words, do we strive to live out our lives in accordance with the teachings of Christ?
