We pray every day for God's will to be done in the earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus taught His disciples to pray in this way when He gave them His example of the perfect prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). We have the confidence to know that God chooses the authority over every nation, places a hook in their jaw, and causes them to do only His bidding throughout their time in power.
God may have other plans than what we think are necessary for Him to do in these tumultuous times on the earth. It is close to the end of the time of the Gentiles, and Jesus will soon come for His intended Bride for all eternity. Iniquity is getting full over the whole earth, and there is no longer any Christian nation left.
At the time of Great Tribulation on the earth, God judges the nations, puts an end to Satan's rule, and re-opens salvation's door for the Jewish nation scattered abroad on the earth. He will also marry Jesus with His intended Bride, and eventually set up His rule on the earth for a 1000-year Millennium followed by Him setting up His eternal Kingdom, just as God planned before the beginning of time.
All that God wants from us is our total trust in Him and obedience to Him with our whole heart. We trade our own to-do list for His will for our life. He calls us to base our thoughts, feelings, choices, beliefs and decisions in the light of His will. His plan promises good gifts for us, as well as promises of hope and eternity (Jeremiah 29:11).
We take joy in doing God’s will, and we are so grateful that He actually writes His law on our heart, which enables us to obey Him in His timing and way. We follow His Spirit’s direction for each moment of our day (Psalm 40:8; Galatians 5:15-25).
Prayer:
Father God, our heart is focused on You in all of the decisions that we make (Psalm 108:1). We are determined to accomplish Your will for our life, so that we can hear Your commendation, “Well done, My good and faithful servant” at Your throned judgment. You put Your desires in our heart, and we follow them determinedly (Psalm 37:4).
Your pleasure is for us to do Your will in all things (Ephesians 2:10). We delight in Your intimate union with us, through Your very presence within us, regardless of our circumstances. Thank You for sending Jesus to pay the penalty of our sins, and for perfecting us through patience during our trials. We love you with our whole heart, and we look forward to spending eternity with You.
Thought for the Day:
As we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, we walk in divine appointments for all of our days on this earth, which gives us purpose for each new day, and joy that defies human understanding.
- Hebrews 12:2
