Transformation__February_2018

It is only through the word of God that we are
able to know what He wants us to do. The
perfect will requires total submission and
surrender, no matter how hard the situation
may become. Jesus knew that the hour of
suffering had come but He could not back out
just at that time. He knew he will suffer at
the hands of the Jewish authorities and He will
end up dying on the cross but He surrendered;
“Father,” He said, “If you will, take this cup of
suffering away from me, not my will however but
your will be done” (Luke 22:42).
When it comes to Gods perfect will, there is
nothing we can do about it. It cannot be averted.
You must surrender and let God accomplish his
divine purpose through you. Understanding what
God wants us to do will help us to embrace the
whole thing knowing that God will do whatever He
wants but it is always for the best. We may suffer
and we are bound to suffer as long as we are in the
world but when we know that God wants to teach
us and bring the best out of us, we will embrace it
and make the best use of the opportunity we have.
So be careful how
you live. Don’t live
like ignorant
people, but like
wise people. Make
good use of every
opportunity you
have, because
these are evil days.
Don’t be fools,
then, but try to
find out what the
Lord wants you to
do (Ephesians
5:15-17).
We know that
in all things
God works
for good with
those who
love him,
those whom
he has called
to his purpose
(Romans
8:28).
