KNOWING GOD'S WILL
''Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small ids the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14
God has a will or a plan for each one of us. He knows what is best for us, even beyond our own expectation for ourselves. God doesn't want us to miss His plans for our lives. However, when we follow our own desires and ignore His will, we are not following what is best for our lives and we end up hurting ourselves, and sometimes the loved ones around us as well.
It may seem easier to ignore God's will, but it is a false path-a lie that Satan would like us to believe. In our lives we have found that it isnt as hard to know God's will as to do God's will. The knowledge seems easier than the action. By reading God's letter to us and by asking Him to show us His way, we can see that God wants only the best for oour lives. then we need to move out on faith in that direction. If we meet detour along the way, we just detour and keep on moving in the right direction. God's will is not always a straight line; sometimes there are curves in the way. Just keep on moving.
What to Pray For
I asked for a bread and got a stone;
I used the stone to grind the grain
That made the flour to form the bread
That I could not obtain.
Instead of asking Him to give
The things for which we pray,
All that we need to ask
From God isthis : Show us the way.
Father God, help us to have a discerning spirit when it comes to knowing Your plan for our lives.
Give us stregth, comfort and wisdom to study instructions for our time here on earth. Our prayers will bring us into contact with You and Your Holy Spirit. Thank you for being so concerned for us that You have a perfect plan just for us. Amen.
