Trust
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding."
(Proverbs 3:5).
We often try to make things happen in our lives while driving toward human goals and dreams while conforming to modern society’s standards. It is easy to get diverted from a solid spiritual track when we track our way rather than the Lord’s way; when we pursue possessions rather than peace of mind.
The question "how do I know God's will?" has been asked many times. But before
this question can be answered, another question should be asked. "Am I ready and willing to do God's will?" If the answer is yes, then the other question can be asked. Remember that in order to do his will, what he has in mind for you may take you by surprise. Perhaps it is best expressed by Isaiah 55:8-9:
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways', declares the Lord.
'As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
To know God's will there cannot be any power struggle; he wants our will to be submissive to him. The more we value control and power, the greater a struggle we will have. To be at peace, He needs to be in charge.
Thought for Today: Today let’s try to do God’s will through our daily activities.
Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, today we search for clues to help do your will here on earth. We pray that we can contribute to making your world a better place.
Amen
Love the title of this blog! And ironically the title led me to it and the last verse entered was one my best friend and I just had spoken of!

ReplyDeleteThank you Tamara. We passed 75,000 page views yesterday. I welcome you!
ReplyDeleteThat's really good 😊. I used to blog and write short stories and started a biography, but every day life gets in the way. Someone took away my passion for writing or doing anything really that was my own.....me...except for singing...Now I only do Street worship in Kings Lynn every Saturday morning near Boots....it's my only allowed outlet at the moment.
DeleteBut I am really glad I ran across your blog....it's doing what is meant and being a spiritual reminder and encouraging others. So, thank you 😊
Tamara, thanks again. I see you are in the UK, I spend 3/4 weeks there annually. My wife was raised in St. Albans, Hertz. I am glad that we connected. We are also on Facebook if toy want to connect that way. Have a great week!
