The focus of planning according to the Lord’s will is not trying to decipher the details of your life such as who you will marry, what job you will get, or where you will live as if consulting a fortune teller. Planning according to the Lord’s will is about ensuring that the plans you make are in align with His precepts.
Does your potential mate have a growing faith in Christ and is your relationship pure? Does the job you are considering still allow you to put God and family first? Is the home you want to purchase affordable and still allow you to give generously? We sometimes fret over details trying to figure out what God wants us to do, when if we examine our desires and plans in light of scripture His truth always reigns.
God’s word is black and white; the gray only exists in man’s heart. Are you struggling with a decision right now? Is it possible that you know the answer, but it is not what you want to hear? Most of the time our problem lies in a failure to obey not in a failure to know God’s will.
Deut. 30:19-20 19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Today commit to choose life – a life that honors God, so that you will love Him well, listen to His voice and hold fast to Him.
