1st John 2:17. “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
THE WILL OF GOD. Is it so complicated to want what God wants? Is it so difficult I do not attempt to do what He asks? Is it so far removed from my reality that my will I flaunt? Is it possible I have ignored God’s will in the past?
Today is a new day, and I look at the way ahead – I am reminded this life I live is not mine alone – For now, in Christ I live, because in Christ I was dead – Doing the will of God is the desire of one for whose sin He atoned.
Everything else is temporary, only the unseen things are forever The world with all its history will never ever last – The link that joins me to God’s will is a tie that cannot severe – The life I live is in the present, the old life now is passed.
The will of God is always right, of that there is no question – His will and way are perfect, He has plans to be fulfilled. As I reflect on God’s will in the past, I am drawn to serious reflection – May my commitment to God’s will in me be well instilled.
“I pray daily Father, that I will be sensitive to and aware of Thy will in each activity I am involved in. There are outside pressures but as I am getting older, I sense I have a greater desire to know and obey Thy will as it is revealed to me. May it always be like this. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
