Trust

Trust 

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your understanding."

(Proverbs 3:5). 

            We often try to make things happen in our lives, driving toward human goals while conforming to modern society's standards. It is easy to get diverted from a solid spiritual track functioning our way rather than the Lord's way. 

            Am I ready and willing to do God's will? If so, how do I know God's will? The ten commandments are a good place to start. What the Lord 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 are higher than your thoughts."

 

            Knowing God's will cannot be a power struggle; he wants our will to be submissive to him. The more we value control and power, the more significant battle 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. He can and will resolve our problems. 

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, we search for clues to help do your will. We pray that we can contribute to making your world a better place.

Amen
