God teaches us to know His will through the Bible and through following good counsel from pastors, sponsors, and Christian friends who have been faithfully walking with God for some time. As we regularly replace our will with God’s will and plan for our lives, our life will take on new meaning and will be satisfying.
Turning our will and our life over to the care of God is not simply asking God to bless what we believe and determine we should do. It is actively researching the Bible for what God says brings satisfaction in life. Because of His love for us, God warns us to stay away from those things that He knows will injure us. God’s principles for living are not twisted by wounds and resentments and shame and fear. His desire for us is to know a satisfying way of life and to live it well. As we submit to building on that foundation, life will change and become more fulfilling.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Often I feel irritated and stretched by the unfamiliar ways in which You are leading me. However, I humbly admit, “Your wisdom and Your ways are superior to mine.” Though I may not feel like doing what you say, I will trust You and adjust my life according to Your word. Today, I invite You to continue to lead and guide me in all my ways for You truly are my rock, and my fortress, my strength, and my deliverer. Amen
