What you think is right may not be right with God!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

God does not think like you and your ways are not God’s ways. So what you think may be the best course of action because it is logical and seems like the right thing to do, may not be God’s will for you at all.

God knows you better than you know yourself. He understands your personality and your strengths and weakness. He wants to direct your path in His ways.

You do not see the invisible working of evil around you and how Satan intends to steal, kill, and destroy. God wants to protect you from the ploys and attacks of Satan. And God is omniscient and knows every detail of your future and the world stage and desires to keep you on course with Him.

As a believer, you have the mind of Christ and He desires to fill you with wisdom and guidance. However, you have to commit your works each day to God and ask Him to infuse your mind with His thoughts and counsel. This includes family and friends, work, your decision making, and your prayer life.

Take everything before the Lord and inquire of Him for wisdom. For example, you have an important decision to make and are not sure what to do. Take it to God and wait on Him for an answer. This is now no longer a burden to you because you have deferred to God and removed yourself from taking action. This an expression of your genuine faith in God and it now becomes God’s responsibility to provide you with wisdom and perfect decision making.

This method of living with God is how you can avoid conforming to worldly thinking and be transformed by the renewing of your mind to find the good, acceptable, perfect will of God.

You are now acting in the role of a doer of the Word!

Thought for the day:  “I see all things and have power and authority over every detail in your life. I want to be your Keeper. Come to Me for your every need. I will never let you down or disappoint you. My Words are Truth and Life.”
