"Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven...."
You probably recognize these words from the "Lord's Prayer." They remind us that we need to consider God's will as we make our decisions in life. Have you seriously considered God's will for your life? This prayer challenges us to seek God's will and to do it. I remember years ago that I was pastoring a good church and had a good job teaching sixth grade in Adel. God spoke to my heart and led me to give these up and go to seminary in North Carolina. Mary, Faith, Hope and I packed up our earthly possessions and moved to North Carolina. I was being considered by a church in Virginia, but I had no idea whether or not they would call me to be their pastor. (Thank God they did call me!) We discovered the importance of doing God's will. I have endeavored to do God's will in my life, and when I have failed to do so, I have fallen flat on my face..... Have you considered God's will for your life? God has His people placed over the earth to carry His word to the multitudes. If you are a Christian, you are one of these people. I want to share what it means to do God's will for your life. First, it means that you are cooperating with God in His work on earth. It is important for you to know that you can be a good farmer, a good nurse, a good store clerk, whatever, and do His will. Wherever you work, you are His witness to the world. Second, it means that you recognize your dependence on God in your life. Frankly, I can't imagine facing a day without realizing that i am dependent on God's presence and His power in my life. Are you considering the need for your dependence on God in your life? This realization will make a difference in your outlook on life. If you have not thought of this in your life, rush to God and seek His presence and His will. Third, it means that you take your faith commitment to God seriously. We sing a hymn that tells us the importance on this fact in our lives: "Wherever He leads I'll go....." Think about God's will for your life. This article does not nearly cover all that could be written on this subject, but what I have written can make a difference in your life. Think about it! Bro. Joe
