| Not My Will |
| Today, I picked up an old periodical dated August 1971, and, among other things, was struck by one of the paragraphs I read. I will quote it here for your consideration as I believe it has a message relevant to all of us whether young or old. |
| “Why are so many of God’s children not enjoying full peace and liberty in their souls? It is simply because they are following the will of their fallen nature in many details of their lives. In fact in many details of their daily life they have not even stopped to consider what God’s will is about it. So as a consequence they are not in conscious fellowship with God, walking by the Spirit in every detail of their daily life in obedience to His revealed will.” |
| How true this is! Although our sins are forgiven, and we are on our way to heaven, there is never the day-to-day experience of joy and peace unless we have the same submissive spirit of the Lord Jesus, who said, “Not My will, but Thine” (Luke 22:42). Then let us “prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). |
