JOURNEYING WITH GOD

When we turn our will and life over to the care of God, we are admitting that we cannot do life on our own and have become willing to let God direct our lives. We are aware of the past wrongs we have done, the evil we have brought on ourselves, and the harm we have caused our loved ones and friends while living in self-will.  Now we choose to surrender our whole person, body, mind, and spirit, to God’s care.  We say to God, “I am Yours.  You have paid the price to give me a new life. Now do with me as You will.” 

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.  (Romans 12:1 MSG)

God knows our hearts and when we are sincere about living a new life in the power of the Holy Spirit it delights His heart because He loves and cares about us.  God is patient and kind and has compassion on us when we are feeling weak about obeying His word.  If we ask Him, He will help us.  He will show us things that are pleasing to Him and helpful to us, things that we may never have thought about or even considered. 

So let us never stop offering to God our praise through Jesus. Let us talk openly about our faith in him. Then our words will be like an offering to God. Don’t forget to do good. Don’t forget to share with others. God is pleased with those kinds of offerings.  (Hebrews 13:15-16 NIRV)

Our minds may not yet be in tune with God’s word, but we have God’s mighty Power working in us to help us get to know and do those things that please Him.  God is a loving Father who is patient and kind.  As we journey with Him God will care for us and keep us safe on the path we have chosen. 

Every word of God is perfect.  He is like a shield to those who trust in him.  He keeps them safe.  (Proverbs 30:5 NIRV)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank You for caring for me and guiding me in the way I should go. Please help me to be obedient to Your Word in all that I say and do.  Amen
