The meaning of Deo Volente is, 'God Willing',it is illustrated in the book of James chap 4 v 13 - 16,There we have people who are boasting about tomorrow,what they are going to do,James calls them arrogant and informs them and us,what the right attitude should be,and what they should be saying is,'If it is the Lord's will, we will do this or that'.The word of God teaches us to acknowledge God in all our ways ( Proverbs 3 v 6 ).to confess that we need him,which we do. If we live in a spirit of being independent from God,we are no better than the non Christian,the word of God declares the danger of choosing our way,( Proverb 14 v 12 ),where does it lead ?,to death'.The challenge for the Christian is the will of God,when our first parents sinned they disobeyed God's ,and from that time on ,we have lived contrary to God's will, resisting,and even hating it.Many pray these words every day,in what we know as the Lord's prayer,'Your will be done',without really living it out in their lives,may God help us all ,to mean what we pray,and bring God into all of our lives.
