THE WILL OF GOD

How do you know

If you are doing

The will of God

Something is troubling you

And you are suffering

And you know

Not what to do

It may be health related

Praying for a miracle

It may be financial

Maybe you just lost your job

It may be

A broken relationship

That no matter how hard that you try

You just can’t seem to restore it

How do you know

If your suffering is God’s will

I don’t know

Can’t answer that

But I can tell you this

In 1 Peter 4, it says,

“If you suffer

It should not be

As a murderer or thief

Or any other kind of criminal

Or even as a meddler

However

If you suffer as a Christian

Do NOT be ashamed

But PRAISE GOD

That you bear his name”                                     1 Peter 4:15 & 16

You may NOT even see it

How it helps anyone

But it just may be

For the GREATER GOOD

The will of God---

How do we know

---If we are abiding in it

One thing I do know

Is that

If you are trying

To live by the standards of this world

Sexual lust---materialism---violence

That that Is NOT

THE WILL OF GOD

“Do not conform

Any longer to the pattern

Of this world

But be transformed

By the renewing of the mind

Then you will be able

To test and approve

What GOD’S WILL IS-------------

HIS GOOD, PERFECT AND PLEASING WILL”                                 Romans 12:2

So HOW  do we know

Really know

That we are really doing

The will of God

I do know this

If it is the right choice

If it is the right decision

It---your life---your decisions

Will stand the test of tine

“The world and its desires pass away

But the man who does the will of God---LIVES FOREVER”                         1 John 2:!7

THE WORD OF GOD
THE WILL OF GOD

STANDS FOREVER
