The Will of God

Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 22-23, 1 Peter 1

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
Psalm 62:5

Today's Scripture & Insight:

God's will is sometimes hard to follow. He asks us to do the right things. He calls us to endure hardship without complaining; to love awkward people; to heed the voice inside us that says, You mustn't; to take steps we'd rather not take. So, we must tell our souls all day long: "Hey soul, listen up. Be silent: Do what Jesus is asking you to do."

"My soul waits in silence for God alone" (Psalm 62:1 nasb). "My soul, wait in silence for God alone" (62:5 nasb). The verses are similar, but different. David says something about his soul; then says something to his soul. "Waits in silence" addresses a decision, a settled state of mind. "Wait in silence" is David stirring his soul to remember that decision.

David determines to live in silence—quiet submission to God's will. This is our calling as well, the thing for which we were created. We'll be at peace when we've agreed: "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). This is our first and highest calling when we make Him Lord and the source of our deepest pleasure. "I desire to do your will," the psalmist said (Psalm 40:8).

We must always ask for God's help, of course, for our "hope comes from him" (62:5). When we ask for His help, He delivers it. God never asks us to do anything He won't or can't do.

By: David H. Roper

Reflect & Pray
When have you thought God's will for you was difficult? How can you live in quiet submission?

I may not always understand Your will, Father, but I ask for help to submit to it. Teach me to trust Your good and faithful character. Please give me a submissive heart.

THE GREAT DELIVERER

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

THE GREAT DELIVERER

God is great but He humbles Himself to the level of His children to deliver them. The one who will deliver you must be stronger than the enemy holding you captive. The reason He is able to deliver is because He is stronger than all your enemies put together. This is why in

NO FOOD FOR THE LAZY MAN

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

NO FOOD FOR THE LAZY MAN

Laziness is not a Christian virtue in any way. Our Lord Jesus Christ made this clear by His lifestyle of hard work while here on earth. A lifestyle of laziness is outrightly rejected in Scriptures typified by today's Bible reading. It is amazing that some people are still expecting God to rain manna on earth! It does...More
