The best way to
discern God’s Will is to pray and hear from God. We cast our cares upon Him,
because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 55:22). God commenced
our life at conception with each day already planned out and the entirety of our
days numbered (Psalm 139:13,16). He created us with a specific purpose in mind,
and He has a perfect will for each and every one of us (Ephesians
2:10). Are we fulfilling that
purpose?
Christ will
live this wonderful purpose through our life by His Spirit. He gives us both
the desire and the power to accomplish God’s Will for our life (Philippians 2:13). We
abandon all confidence in our self, our flesh and our human abilities. When we
choose to totally relinquish our plans and surrender to His faithfulness, we
enter into His divine rest (Hebrews 4:10). We live in reverence to Christ as our
Lord (1 Peter 3:15).
Depending
completely and ceaselessly on God, we do the works, which God calls us to
perform with our life (Ephesians 2:10). We love those He leads us to love, pray for whom
He calls us to pray for, share the gospel with those whom we feel Him nudging
us to talk to and serve those He directs us to serve. Our whole goal in life is
to bring God glory in everything we think, say, feel and do.
We live in
victory, which Jesus won for us on Calvary’s cross, and we do greater works
than He did because His Spirit abides in us. There are no expectations in our
heart, no demands or requirements that we hold out for God. We do not dictate
to Him what He should do, but we entirely surrender to His will for our life.
The more we walk in the Spirit, the more we want to walk in the Spirit.
Our confidence
in God comes through the faith of Christ in us (2
Corinthians 3:4). We
entertain no ambition or desires apart from knowing Christ (Romans 15:13). Having a
productive day in the things of God and for the Kingdom of God is the most
fulfilling time we can ever experience. We wait on God’s direction, through His
Spirit within us, and we see His hand on everything in our life.
Prayer:
Father God,
thank You for filling us with Your Spirit at the moment we open our hearts to
accept Christ’s sacrifice for our sins. Thank You for leading us each moment of
the day by Your Spirit and for keeping us in the center of Your will. We enjoy
the fellowship of Christ and we dwell in You as Your Spirit dwells in us. We
depend on You absolutely and we trust You to give us both the desire and the
power to serve You with our life (Philippians 2:13).
Thought for the
Day:
We rest in the faith of the Son of God, who loves us and gave Himself
for us. – Galatians 2:20
