DO WHAT YOU WANT

It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:13

A great man once said: ‘ *If you love God, you can do as you please.’* What he meant was that if you love God, what pleases you will be what pleases God.

When we love the things God loves, and hate the things God hates, we can live as we please. The Psalmist wrote, ‘Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart’ (Psalm 37:4), not meaning he will give you anything you desire but that the desires themselves will be God-given desires.

This is a good way to live. God leads us by working in us to will and act in order to fulfill His good purpose, so that He puts His Will into our minds and hearts. I am sometimes asked the question about an issue, ‘Do you think this is God’s Will or mine?’ I sometimes answer, ‘Have you ever considered it might be both? It is your will because it is God’s Will, and He has put this desire into your hearts.’

There are other checks for discerning the Will of God – the Scriptures, our circumstances, wholesome advice from those who know us well – but often His leading us begins with giving us right desires.

What God works out through us,
He first works in us.

How do you think God is molding your mind to His?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please help me to live according to your will. In Jesus' name I humbly ask....Amen🙏🏼
