TODAY'S LESSON: THE CENTER OF GOD'S WILL
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT IT? EVERYTHING HAS A CENTER.
AN APPLE
THE EARTH
AND YES, THERE'S EVEN A CENTER TO GOD'S WILL.
CHECK THIS OUT!
IN PSALM 118:8 GOD SAID
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
PSALM 118:8
IS THE CENTER OF THE BIBLE
AND CONSEQUENTLY
THE CENTER OF GOD'S WILL.
PROVERBS 3:5-6 ARE A MIRROR TO PSALM 118:8
TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS...
WELL, THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION OF WHAT GOD'S WILL IS, BUT HOW DO I GO ABOUT TRUSTING HIM?
WELL, IT'S NOT AS HARD AS YOU MIGHT THINK.
FIRST YOU NEED TO STOP TRUSTING WHATEVER OR WHOEVER YOU'VE BEEN TRUSTING. IN OTHER WORDS
ABOUT FACE!
(TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS)
NOW THAT YOU'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOME GUIDANCE TO GET YOU TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
"THE CENTER OF GOD'S WILL"
SO, HOW DO I GET GUIDANCE?
EASY
PRAY AND READ YOUR BIBLE
JAMES 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
PSALM 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
OK, WE'VE TURNED, WE'VE PRAYED, WE'VE READ OUR BIBLES, WHAT'S NEXT?
WELL, NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE!
WHAT'S THE OLD SAYING:
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT:
HEBREWS 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
I THINK II CHRONICLES 7:14
IS A WONDERFUL VERSE
THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT ALL UP.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
