God's Will

God's will - an interesting facet of our walk with God.

We all want to walk in God's perfect will.

Some people massage circumstances to create what they perceive is God's will for their lives.

Some of us are like the man who was on a diet and prayed as he drove to work-

"Now, Lord if it is your will for me not to have any donuts this morning You make sure there are no parking places in front of the donut shop."

And he later said, "I ate the donuts because there were two places right up front on only my 8th trip around the block."

We need to make sure we don’t play the game of making God’s guidance fit what we want rather than seeing if what we want actually fits His plans.

Others of us agonize over God's will. We want to make sure that it's his "perfect" will for our lives."

I think sometimes we all need to chill out a little bit in knowing this. Whether I choose God's plan A or plan B for my life - God can always bring plan A results out of our plan B choices.

What is God's "perfect" will for our lives? To know Him, to strive for purity, and to live with Him for eternity.

Outside of that, it's all dependent upon our leaning upon him, step by step.

So I encourage all of us today, let's don't force a round peg in a square hole, or get so uptight about the process of finding God's will that we lose our joy in the present.
