The Will Of God

There is a Divine plan and will for all of us. It is not something to be discovered by hard searching, prayer, thought and sacrifice. 

It begins by making up your mind that God’s will is the greatest thing in your life, greater than any success. You may have success, be a millionaire, and be a famous person - fine, if that is God’s will, but otherwise it is failure. You no longer think as a man of the world, but as a man of God.

It is a complete re-orientation of life. Think as God thinks, think by the Bible pattern, think humbly, not with grand thoughts of yourself. Thank God that He does guide, plans, corrects, checks, and so long as you belong to Him body, soul and mind, you cannot live a life of failure. Your life is bound for eternal greatness. 

People keep wondering if they have stepped aside from what God wanted. This itself is not what God wants them to do. Introspection is a waste of time, and pure self-concern. My advice is - forget it, leave that to God. He does the checking and He will do the steering. God is there constantly. He says "I will guide you with my eye" (Psalm 32,8). His eye is accurate. He knows where you should be, and if anything has slipped out of place, He will adjust it. All God wants is control. Let Him have His way! Rejoice in it - today!
