IN THE PROCESS GOD WANTS TO WORK IN OUR LIVES
Your life is important to God. He loves you just the way you are but loves you too much to leave you just the way you are. He wants each one of us to learn from Him and in the process our very natures can be changed, and we can become more like Him.
Romans 8:28‘And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.’
This is one of the greatest joys we can know in life, the joy of knowing that we are called for His purposes and plans. In my years of being in the ministry, I have discovered that I am at my happiest and at my most fulfilled when I am doing what God destined, called and purposed for me to do. When I take a detour along the road of my own making, I find myself to be anxious and troubled. This is because I need to get back to the main thing and that is loving and serving God and seeking His presence in my life daily. At the end of the day God is particularly concerned about us as individuals and He wants to see His nature reflected in our character because of our interaction and relationship with Him.
ASK HIM TO LEAD YOU DAY BY DAY
A life lived to His glory and honour is a life that is determined to pursue Him and to do what He says we should do. Our hearts should be open and yield to His leading in our lives. Often He will lead us step by step and day by day. We may not always see the big picture, but as we do what honours Him in each small decision of the day, we will find we have made progress on the path He has for us. Let us stay connected to God. Let us do what He shows us to do. Let us not do anything that we know He would not have us do. Let us follow His example and let us be changed to look more like Him, do more of what He would do and live a life that pleases Him. Then our lives will become a living tabernacle, a living sanctuary where we can experience and enjoy His presence. And in that place we will find His presence and experience His glory like we have not known it before.
2 Corinthians 3:18‘So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord – Who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.’
Ask Him to lead you day by day and step by step and live life to His glory and honour.
