Thy Will be Done

READ: Matt. 6:10. MORE LESSONS: Luke 15: 11-32
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Luke 22-24

Any time some people hear about the will of God, the first thing that comes to their minds is marriage. And this is disappointing because God's will goes beyond the subject of marriage; it involves every aspect of our lives. The will of God actually means the original intention of God; it means God's master plan, both written and unwritten, for a man's life. Another word that describes the will of God is what I call God's master plan. This new description readily makes us know that God’s will doesn't just have to do with only marriage. Until you know all of God's thought about you, you are not likely to succeed in life. God is principled; He does not do things because of the prevailing situations. Rather, He does all things according to His plan and purpose and His plan never contradicts His Word. This is the reason you have to draw nearer to His Word so that His plan and purpose for your life will be done. Since the will of God is God's intention, His mind, plan and purpose, then it's important to examine some attributes of God's will.
Apart from the joy of the Lord that fills the heart of any man that is walking in God's will, there is provision for God-given vision. For instance, if I want to send a boy on an errand, he is rest assured that I will provide what it takes to send him on the errand. It is the same with God’s provision for His will and purpose for your life.
Furthermore, there is security in God's plan and purpose. You can only be secure if you stay within God's will for your life. Many people face problems and suffer because they have left the will of God for their lives just like the prodigal son suffered for stepping out of his father's will (Luke 15: 11-32). For somebody reading this devotional today, like the prodigal son did, go back home to your father - return to God's will for your life. The Bible says about the prodigal son that from a distance the father saw and recognised His son. They put a ring on his finger, killed the fatted cow and celebrated because of the son that was lost but now returned home. I urge you to return to God's will for your life and continue therein. May you walk in God’s will for every area of your life, in Jesus’ name.
