James 4:15 (NIV)
15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s
will, we will live and do this or that.”
While I like to have choices, and I like to be responsible
for my own decisions, I am truly thankful that God allows me to submit my life
to his will and place my trust in him. The Father is at work in me to do his
will (Phil. 2:13) and to work for my best good (Rom. 8:28). I gladly
acknowledge that my plans are subject to his will. I am appreciative that my
goals and successes are in his hands. I gladly proclaim that what lies ahead
for me can be summarized by one phrase: "If the Lord wills!"
Thought for today:
How do I know I am in the will of God?
