“God is the one who enables you both to want and to actually live out his good purposes.”
Philippians 2:13
Although uncomfortable by some things in this real of faith, I am humbled to be a witness to all that God is doing in me and all around me.
God is faithful.
I see many Christians today chasing after the will of God as though it were a goal that they themselves came up with.
I see unwise strategies and godless tactics being molded together to attain the will of God for our lives, but all to no avail.
It seems as though many of us want God’s will and promises, but we think we can get it our own way. In fact, some of us ascribe those thoughts and ideas to God even though we know that the Spirit of God in us oppose our ways.
I can personally attest that whatever God wills already has His way attached to it. His Will, His Way!
When God wants you to do something for His name and His purpose, He has already created His Way to align with His Will.
I have heard it said often that, “God is a gentleman.”
As powerful and mighty as He is, we serve a gentle God who is merciful and loving toward us. God may permit your way because you have chosen to exercise the freewill He has given you, but God will not permit you to dishonor His Will.
His Will, His Way!
What God says will be, is already as He said, we are just yet to see it.
I find that we often try to place the Will of a timeless God in the confines of our own limited time here on earth. When God tell you to do something, He will always tell you How to do it. He may not show you “How” but He will tell you. God is particular about the How.
It is in this ‘How’ that you and I see the hand of God. It is in this ‘How’ that we come to revere His majesty. It is in this ‘How’ that we find intimacy with the Maker. It is in this ‘How’ that our faith is stretched to the capacity of the fulfillment of God’s promise.
So I urge you today to pay attention to ‘How’ you are living your life and going about getting to promise. I pray you take a moment to reflect on whether or not you are after His Will, His Way.
May the Lord of Hosts continue to lead us in His Way as we seek after His Will in Jesus name. Amen.
