"The Will Of God"

A Blast From The Word

“The Will Of God”

I Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

The question that everyone asks themselves sometime in their life is this: “What is God’s will for my life?” Now, I know we are usually talking about work, family, school, where to go or where not to go, when to speak or not speak, our choice of friends and so on. While we are trying to find out His will in these things, there is mention of some amazing things here in I Thessalonians. Rejoice: To be glad and take delight. Pray: Communion with God. To offer devout petition, praise and thanks. Thanksgiving: The act of giving thanks, grateful acknowledgement of benefits and favors, public celebration of divine favor and kindness. Do you act upon these for the will of God in your life? Rejoice, pray and give thanks IS His will for your life. I believe if you will do these things, then God’s will and plan for your life will fall into place. You know--first things first.

Father God, I want to be in the middle of Your perfect will. Help me to do the things I already know to do. I bow before You, today, seeking Your perfect will for my life.
