Finding The Way
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10
Usually around this time of the year, we start to look, seek for God’s guidance for the new year. We ask this question, the same question most of us ask at one time or another, Lord!, what is your will for my life? And we think we can’t know unless we have a super spiritual experience and yes sometimes that happens,but most of the time we must walk by faith, God’s will is not a total mystery, His word contains a lot about His will for our lives.
His will is not always what we do, our lives should be more about our relationship with Him, and not what we do for Him.
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:22-23
This year in searching for God’s will it would be good for us to be submissive.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2
Here Paul tells us the first two things we should do is, submit ourselves, submit what we are, who we are, and everything about ourselves to God, second is worship, worship Him for who He is, what He has done and not for what He can do. Next we should be willing for Him to transform us,our minds and spirit to know what His will is for us.
We can also know that His will for us will not be contrary to His word, He will never ask us to do anything that does not agree with scripture or His Spirit, so this year as we seek for He would have us do in the days to come, we should diligently study the scripture and pray as we do, I know that through our relationship and letting His word speak to our hearts, this year can be a breakthrough year.
