What Is Your Will In Christ?

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." Galatians 6:7-10 (NKJV) There's nothing in this world more important than some of those things that many people seem to ignore, or even mock attention to. We watch as the cares, concerns, and passions of current society so often, far overshadow the simple, ever-living, truths of The God of creation.  And to those of us who're aware of the true reality that rules above our lives and days on this earth, what we may see around us here may seem disheartening to us at times - but it doesn't change the reality that reigns beyond this sho...

  We often stop to think about our own circumstances - our own wants and needs. Our own desires are continually within a hairs breadth of our current thinking... How often though, do we give any thought to what Jesus wants - to what He's allowed Himself to desire with a costly passion? Do those thoughts guide the response to Him that we're living out? When Jesus began His ministry in human form on earth it was with the desire to please His Father. He knew what He wanted and He already knew beforehand what it would cost Him. The price was very high, but wrapped up in that desire to please His Father was another desire also - because what the Father loves with such passion, the Son loves passionately as well.  As Jesus ministered to the people that came to hear Him along with the others that He encountered during those 3 years of His adult ministry, He demonstrated His love for His Father by His obedience, but He also demonstrated the love that He had for people. It was and is a...

Lord my God, I only wish that my heart and mind could fully describe your greatness, the pure beauty of your character, and your awesome power - the complete essence of the precious, loving, wonder and righteous, terrifying, power that you are. My attempts to capture you fully though, even in my thoughts, let alone my words, are merely an attempt at what is humanly impossible.  "A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”  Isaiah 40:6-8 (NKJV) In the midst of all of the troubles and distractions facing humanity - all of the chaos, distress, worries, desires, and needs, above all of the noise of it, there's a voice calling out constant and unwavering. It's the voice of the God who created man...
