Devotional
If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.
While I like to have choices, and I like to be responsible for my own decisions, I am truly thankful that God allows me to submit my life to His will and place my trust in Him.
The Father is at work in me to do His will
Philippians 2:13
It is God who is at work in you,
both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
and to work for my best good
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
▪︎ I gladly acknowledge that my plans are subject to His will.
▪︎ I am appreciative that my goals and successes are in His hands.
▪︎ I gladly proclaim that what lies ahead for me can be summarized by one phrase:
“If the Lord wills!”
