Are you ready to do the will of the Lord now? Many have tried it their way; a way has not been working. Serving God is not like placing an order in a local drive up window. There is only one way and that is his way. How does one know the ways of the Lord? First and foremost his way will be a humble way. Humble on the fact it will not puff up man. God will be the center of your work He will be what your life or your ministry will be about. Reading in the book of St. John will tell you what doing God’s will is about. Jesus throughout this book was telling us his will was his Fathers will. He came to fulfill the will of the Father not his own. He could have came in a different way as a king yet the lesson we are having to learn is the will of the Lord is going to be your will shall no longer exist. Here is the truth man has a way to work things around to where He get recognizes and will take the credit for what God does. As an example: such things as I prayed the pray of faith or I spoke the word of the Lord. You or I do nothing it is about what God has done and what God has spoken. One time I had to go to a place that I did not want to go and I told the Lord I don’t think I can do this Lord. Here is what He spoke. This is not about you this is about me. Often the Lord will send us places that in ourselves we may not want to go yet as He said to me it is not about you it is about him. Question was it humbling for me to have to go? The answer yes it was but also was a brake through for my life. Always remember children of God doing the will of the Lord will only be difficult for you only if you want it your way. Having come to a place that you say yes Lord here am I is the greatest place you can be. It is a wonderful experience to get back out of God’s way and let him do his work.
