It is comforting to know that the eternal purposes of God are being accomplished even despite the depravity of man, the free will of man and even the blatant militism of the new atheists. God's will will prevail on earth as it is in heaven. Our peace and fulfillment rely on our agreement with His purposes and even more so by attuning our lives to His purposes and our role in them. A friend of mine asked the simple question: What would you do with your life if you knew that you only had 12 months to live. I replied to him that I would do exactly what I was doing and he agreed that he would as well. Then I mused that when you seek and find God's will for your life His purpose and your purpose align in the the things you pursue in your life and you have peace. It is for those that are not in tune with God's purpose that a question like this may stir all kinds of emotions like fear, regret and perhaps resistance. God will not be mocked, His will will prevail so why not get in step with His Spirit and enjoy the ride?
APPLICATION
To have the confidence to know that God will work out all things to achieve His purpose and to be useful to Him with my word and deed in His accomplishing that today.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
