“That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory” (1 Thessalonians 2:12).
“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:17).
William Law, who was born in 1686 and died in 1761, wrote this: “From morning to night keep Jesus in thy heart, long for nothing, desire nothing, hope for nothing but to have all that is within thee changed into the spirit and temper of the holy Jesus.”
Is it your desire to learn God’s will for you? Christians should have a deep yearning to know what God wants them to do while on this earth. For us to accept Christ as Savior but to never think about Him, read the Bible, pray to Him, or tell others about Him must be a huge disappointment to Him. We are to be the light of the world so we can glorify God.
God has called many people to His service. He doesn’t call everyone to be pastors or missionaries, yet wherever we are, He wants us to represent Him.
God’s will for you is that you live to serve Jesus each and every day.
My response:
» How can I represent God?
» When do I fail to represent God, or when do I represent Him badly?
» Do I live my life to serve Jesus? Or to serve myself?
