will of God

As The Fog Lifts

/ pastorpete51 / 4 Comments

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Roman’s 12:1-2 ESV

Paul appeals to us to offer to God daily, our will, our choices, and desires as an act of worship. Then, he promises that by following this new way of thinking about life that we will gradually be able to make out our surroundings as the fog lifts (discern). Then we will see clearly what is good in God’s eyes: what is acceptable to Him and how He would have us take the next step towards becoming perfect like Christ.

Anything?

Are there limits to anything? Who is Jesus giving this promise to? Does this apply to anyone who asks or just certain people??

If you are asking yourselves any of these questions welcome to the club! While simple truths like this fill the Gospel of John when it comes living with understanding it is another thing entirely.

He is the word…but are we listening?

Bread of life but do we give thanks and eat?

Good Shepherd..but will we follow?

Anything in His name but what of His desire and will? And then even when we know God’s will He has chosen prayer as a part of His plan in bringing it to pass. The older I am getting the less I understand all the answers but the more I am learning of the questions He is asking..
