I know you see me
I know you hear me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Goodness you have in store
So, thy will be done
THY WILL by Hillary Scott
Nothing gives me more hope than knowing God has a plan for my life and it is a good one. Nothing discourages me more than to think I am in charge of my life. Hillary Scott has it right to say that life is confusing but not hopeless. Broken hearts may come into our lives, but as Louie Giglio says, "In ALL things, God works..." (Rom. 8:28).
Jesus, fully human and fully God, knew God's plans were the right plans. In the Garden of Gethsemane, the night before He was crucified, He knew that submitting to His Father's will was necessary - oh so hard, but necessary. We were never intended to live our lives without submitting to the One who created us...who knew us before we were born and does know what is best for us. He has spoken to us in His word..what a treasure we have before us to listen to. I love the new "Dare to Listen" campaign...a very necessary step for us to take to begin to communicate to each other about what we are feeling. But there is One who has been beckoning us for ages...One who is worthy of listening to...worthy of honoring and obeying.
Isaiah 55:6 says "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near". I fear He will stop speaking to us if we do not respond in faith to His call upon our lives. Whose will will you do today?
For further study: Psalm 40:8, 143:10; Isaiah 53:10, Jeremiah 10:12, Matt. 26:39, John 7:17-18, Romans 12:1-2, 2 Cor. 8:12, Eph. 5:17, James 4:15.
Be blessed in the understanding of God's word.
Love,
Holly
