GOD'S WILL IS FOUND ONLY THROUGH OBEDIENCE.
|
"I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me." "For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." John 5:30; 6:38 (NKJV)
I hear it quite frequently, "What is God's Will for my life?" All of us want to know what career we are to pursue, who we are to marry, and where we are to live. But we must understand that God's unknown Will may only be discovered by those who choose to travel upon the road of obedience. God called humanity to simply obey - it is His Will for our lives.
As John the Baptist walked down the highway of obedience, and Jesus walked upon the road of obedience, we too must submit ourselves to the instructions that lie within the pages of God's written Word, putting a sound conclusion to infinite searching and exhaustive wondering.
Jesus came with one purpose - to obey the instructions of His Father. Our calling in life is to please the One who chose us. When we focus upon obeying the Word of God, we no longer are distracted with the perpetual curiosity of God's unknown Will. As we obey, we are assured that He leads and guides our steps. It is only a matter of time before we enter His perfect Will for our lives. Let us renew our minds to the Call that is placed upon our lives, to passionately obey God's known Will - His written Word.
DAILY CONFESSION: Father, I know that I can do nothing of myself. As I hear, I do. As I see, I imitate. I passionately pursue the Call You placed on my life, seeking Your Will, not my own. You are my Father, and I thank You for working through me.
