When we turn our will and our life over to the care of God, He immediately begins to work to help us change. The discipline of prayer and meditation helps us hear from God and correctly interpret the ongoing events of our lives. As we put into practice what God’s word says, we learn to recognize His voice and His way of guiding us.
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (Jeremiah 33:3, James 1:5 NIV)
God has a wonderful plan for our lives. No day is wasted. In every moment there is a lesson for us as God rebuilds us according to His original plan. Even our past mistakes can be used by God to bless others and let them know how much He loves them. As we continue to pay attention to God and obey what He says, His will for our lives will become clearer. God promises that we will have a life that is better than we ever could have thought or imagined.
Reading and meditating on scripture reveals to us the nature of God and His desire to affirm the unfailing love He has for us. In our daily devotions, we are not simply seeking to learn facts about God but are consciously seeking to get to know Him intimately.
As we become familiar with God’s character and ways, we will be empowered by God’s Holy Spirit to live fully surrendered to His ways.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I welcome the work of Your Holy Spirit in me as You reveal Your will for my life. Help me to live humbly before You and honour You in all my ways. Amen
