My Divine Devotions: Life in God’s will

1 John 5:14 We can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will.

Learning to obey God’s will opens doors that the human mind cannot understand in the natural. But, therein is our human challenge: wanting God’s will. For if wanting God’s will means hardship or unpleasantness, how can our hearts want the will of God?

Yet the will of God is perfect for our lives. A life lived in God’s will is the most effective, powerful and peaceful. God’s will allows us to be effective in living a life of purpose. God’s will allows us to live a life that is powerful in our mission fields. God’s will allows us to live a peaceful life amid storms.

Want God’s perfect will.

My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure.
