We need to trust the Lord no matter what; we can’t only trust Him when things are going good. I like that it says “seek His will.” Don’t sit back expecting everything to fall into place. We need to work hard and continue to fill our hearts with God’s word. Learning from God and living like Christ is what we need to do. When we fully devote ourselves to knowing Christ we can act like Christ and live a way that always is glorifying to God.
At the end of Acts chapter 13 verse 22 it says, “…I have found David son of Jesse, a man after My own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.”
Gary Thomas shares in his book “The Beautiful Fight,” “Did you catch that last line? He will do everything I want him to do. My prayer for my son, my daughter, myself and you is that we will do everything God wants us to do.” Think about what Gary is praying. The people that really made a difference for Christ didn’t try and do things for themselves; they surrendered to God and did what He wanted. We can do this by seeking understanding and wisdom from God.
Proverbs chapter 3 verses 13-15 says, “Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.”
When we understand that God wants us to love Him and our neighbors and drop all of our selfish ways and live fully to know Him we will be able to say as Jesus did, “not my will be done but yours.” Learn and live to be a light and continue to get your strength from Christ. Amen
