God Willing.
'…give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. '
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Dear Journey Family…
Pastor Brian said last Sunday:
“How do we determine the will of God? Well, we are lead by the Spirit. The Spirit guides us, it directs us into the very will of God. So many times we’re trying to figure out What God’s will is and yet if I’m being led by the Spirit, I end up just being in his will more than looking to his will…”
As students of the Bible that is one of the questions we often ask. “What is the will of God for my life? “ And many times we at best try to guess, when the Bible is clear about what His will is. We are presented with the answer here in 1Thessalonians 5:18: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances”
God likes simple things. And his will is simple. To rejoice, to pray and to give thanks.
So how are you doing in relation to God’s will?
Are you rejoicing, above the circumstances God has you going through right now? Are you praying? Constantly? Are you thankful?
