Discovering God's Will.


Sub-Topic: Identifying God's Plan.

Biblical Text: Romans 12:2.

Commentary:

Romans 12:2 moves from acknowledging the need for change and experiencing regeneration to a more profound grasp of God's will. The text promises that via the "renewing of your mind," we will be able to "test and approve what God's will is."

God does not compel us to do His will. He wishes for a relationship based on trust and obedience. Renewal enables us to discern His will via a variety of approaches, including studying scripture, seeking good advice, and listening to interior promptings from the Holy Spirit.

Understanding and aligning with God's will results in a life of purpose, contentment, and pleasure. It does not imply a lack of problems, but it does assure that we are on the route He has set for us.

Prayer: Oh Lord, please open my intellect and heart to grasp Your plan for my life. Guide me to make choices that are consistent with Your perfect plan.

Work Action: Jot down a choice you're facing. Spend some time in prayer and scripture study, seeking God's wisdom on this issue.

Scriptural Reference: Proverbs 3:5–6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
