Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-22

2 Timothy 1:1 (NKJV) 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus…

Paul was an apostle by the will of God, meaning that God wanted to use Paul in such a way.

Could Paul have said no to God? Yes, he could have. God does give us a choice.

However, think of all that would have changed if he did not obey the will of God for his life.

These books, Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews, in the New testament would not have been written.

All the knowledge, wisdom, correction, struggles, strengths, etc. would have been lost. Wow! Paul’s obedience benefitted us all.

God’s will for our lives may not be to become an apostle like Paul.

Whatever it may be, though, will be very meaningful and make a great difference in some way, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We have a choice. We can say no to His will for us. But I know that if I did, I would always be thinking about the “what if”.

Let us get serious and seek God for who He is, and He will guide us into the things He desires us to do in serving others.

Keep His word in us. It is His manual that guides our steps!

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-20-19

Psalm 37:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

“What is God’s will for my life?”

That is probably the question we get asked the most on a regular basis. So many believers want to know what God’s plan is for them.

This is a legitimate question. There’s no doubt about it. But most times, it’s a question asked out of the proper timing, and sometimes even with the wrong motives.

Let me explain.

Because of a lack of understanding, many believers fall into this same trap. They get thinking, and it dawns on them that they don’t know “God’s plan” for their life or His “will for them”.

Many people will try to figure it out in various ways. Some will read lots of books. Some will ask people they know. Some might watch videos published by people claiming to know how to find God’s will for your life.

Honestly though, these things are almost all a waste of time.

Why? Because spending time chasing this, instead of spending time pursuing God, will keep us from ever growing into who God wants us to be.

You see, the key to finding God’s will and purpose for your life revolves 100% around learning of God and building your relationship with Him first!

As we learn of Him, and as we get a better understanding of how He wants us to live, we also learn who He wants us to be. And who He wants us to be is the key that unlocks the door to finding out what he wants us to do with our lives.

It’s all part of a tidy little package that is often overlooked, as we keep thinking for some reason that God is going to pop up in front of us one day and say’ “Here’s my plan for your life”, and then lay it all out in a well-marked, easy-to-read road map that shows us every single step to take.

Spend time in His word. Read, study, and read some more. Take it in. Absorb it. Read it some more, and get understanding.

Talk to Him. Listen to Him. Talk to Him some more. And then do what He says to do, even in the simplest things.

As we do this, He will begin to lead us, step by step. And each step that we take will lead us closer and closer to “His will for our lives”.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-15-19

John 6:38 (NKJV) 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Jesus came down from Heaven for one purpose; to do His Father’s will. Putting Himself aside and walking out His Father’s will demonstrates the most beautiful relationship that one can have.

We know each day our lives contain things that we have planned and worked for. We have made our own plans for what we want our lives to be.

What if we were to take one hour and give it to God to do whatever He wants with it? Maybe He wants us to pray, or sit and read. Maybe He wants us to go visit someone, call or text them. Or write a letter or card and mail it out. Maybe even go buy something that we know would bring encouragement for them today.

What is the Father’s will in our own personal lives? Are we afraid of what He may ask us to do? Would we put the things aside that we had already planned, and take the time to do it?

Beautiful relationships come from putting others first. Oh, how wonderful would the bride of Christ be if we, His people, continue to walk in Their example of what it is like to have a truly unselfish relationship.

Luke 22:42 (NKJV) 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

Can we say together, “Not our will Lord, but Yours be done today through us.”?

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-15-18

John 5:30 (NKJV) 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

It was through His Father that Jesus did all that He did. The Son of God said of Himself that He could do nothing. Amazing!

What does that tell us? That of ourselves we can do nothing. If Jesus could do nothing without His Father, then how could we possibly do things without Him?

We need God!

How do we get Him? We go through His Son. That is the only way to the Father.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus Christ, His Son, made the way. It was not easy. It was a very hard road for Him. It took a humble heart and the sacrificing of His own will.

When people think about Jesus and His sacrifice, they think of what He did for us on the cross. Yes, that was the ultimate sacrificial act done for all mankind; Giving up of His life for each one of us.

But, before His physical death that took place on the cross, He had already sacrificed something very personal; His WILL.

Everything Jesus did, everything that was recorded and more, was of His Father’s will.

In this journey we are on as Believers, there will come a time in our life where we will want the Father’s will to be done more than we want our own. We will develop a hunger for it and that will be what moves us.

This is a place that is very dear, because we override our wants, desires, needs, etc. and wait patiently for His will.

God is working on His children and He is raising up an army. This army will know the will of the Father and they will do what He asks, above and beyond what they think or know.

Together, His children will march to the beat of His heart and do only His will through the strength of His Son, Jesus Christ and our Helper, the Holy Spirit. Amen.
