God's will isn't a guessing game
August 19, 2010
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
--Matthew 6:33
You know, some people think of God's will like some kind of cosmic Easter egg hunt.
But God's not playing hide and seek with you. This isn't some guessing game where God is saying, "You're getting warmer. Oh, now you're cooler." No! Our lives are not left to fate or fortune or circumstances.
God wants you to know his will more than you want to know it! And it's not something you have to fear, either. You may have heard me say this before, but it bears repeating: God will choose for you what you would choose for yourself if you had sense enough to choose it. It's true! God always leaves his best to those who leave the choice with him!
Now this doesn't mean that God's will is always easy. Sometimes God's plan can be dangerous and difficult. Just ask Jim Elliott, the martyred missionary who died for his faith taking the gospel to South America.
So God's will may not be easy, but it is always best, always perfect, always good, and always acceptable!
Don't wait until all else fails to try God's will! Seek God's kingdom first! Martin Luther put it this way, "Love God and do what you want to do."
Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and he's going to lead you.
OUR LIVES ARE NOT LEFT TO FATE OR FORTUNE OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
