God’s Will In All Our Affairs Is It Possible?

Saturday October 28, 2023

Even though we may desire to daily walk with God and follow His ways, we will still need God's help to accomplish that goal.  King David, who was named, "a man after God's own heart" repeatedly called out to God for help. 

Be good to your servant, that I may live and obey your word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions. I am only a foreigner in the land. Don’t hide your commands from me! I am always overwhelmed with a desire for your regulations. You rebuke the arrogant; those who wander from your commands are cursed. Don’t let them scorn and insult me, for I have obeyed your laws.  Even princes sit and speak against me, but I will meditate on your decrees. Your laws please me; they give me wise advice. (Psalm 119:17-24 NLT)

God gives us His Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us, so we can know what is right and true.  As we turn our will and our lives over to His care, God works in us to give us the desire and the strength to follow His ways. 

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.  (Philippians 2:13 NLT)

We live in a world where people are arrogant and think they don’t need to seek God.  They rebel against God’s principles and choose to do what is right in their own eyes.  If we are to remain steady and strong in the plan that God has for our lives, we will need to seek Him in all our affairs and rely on His strength to support us as we choose to do what is right. 

We need to daily read and meditate on God's word and surrender our self-will to the Holy Spirit’s power and guidance.   As we do, God works in us and around us to achieve His good plan for our lives.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Turn my eyes away from worthless things and lead me in the way I should go.  Let me rest in Your unfailing love for me as I grow in the knowledge of Your Word and Your ways.  Give me sound judgment in all my affairs. Amen
