Romans 12:2, Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
As we all know by now, life can be tough, and this world is in turmoil. Many ask, where is God? How can God allow all of the pain and suffering?
There is an answer, but most people refuse to accept it. Our world, including our country, has rejected God. God has been taken out of our daily lives. What people can consider good, is actually against what the Bible says.
Is it any wonder why God allows what is going on? An important fact about God is, He will not force Himself on anyone. He even allows each of us to decide where we will spend eternity. He said, anytime we decide to repent and call on the name of Jesus for salvation, He will accept us and blot out our past.
When we accept Jesus as our savior, the Holy Spirit will guide us in God's Will. By seeking God with all of our hearts, we get closer to Him, and hear His voice in our heart.
Many people wrestle with trying to figure out what God's will is. One day while I was asking the Holy Spirit, He gave me the answer. When you meditate on the word of God, and ask Him to show you what His will is, He usually answers by putting a desire in your heart. Keep praying about the desire and wait on God.
From experience, I can tell you, eventually things will start to happen that will confirm or deny. If confirmed, the plan will come together and go smoothly. If not, you will know that too.
God had a plan for each of us before creation. He knew what each of us would do. Since He cannot go against His gift of free will, He must allow each persons life to play out as they choose. Each person who is condemned at the final judgment, will know they deserve it.
So you see it really is simple. If we focus on God and His word,and ignore the evil in the world, we can find peace in our lives. We are not living in denial, we are trusting in our God to take care of us. A couple of extra versus to help you along those lines.
Proverbs 3 5 - 6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.
1 John 2: 16 – 17, for all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one's possessions is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world with it's lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.
Proverbs 19:21 Many plans are in a person's heart, but the Lord's decree will prevail.
God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise The Lord!
Amen
