What’s on your mind today Jesus?

The Lord is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway! Psalm 119:105

We all wake up and have to deal with the subject of what is on God’s mind today. Some things like work, paying bills, and dealing with children are mandated by life.

But there is the big unknown about filling in the rest of life or getting out of troubles.

The Christ follower must understand the difference between the providential and permissive will of God. 

The providential will is ordained by God and is unchangeable. This might refer to a specific season of life chosen for you by God, or relate to where you live or work, or dealing with trials or troubles engineered by God. 

Don’t try to fight God or strive to get out of the providential will of God. Accept this is God’s plan and pray for a strong faith and the ability not to react out of emotions. This season or condition of life will be changed by God in His perfect timing.

The permissive will of God provides the believer with the freedom to make decisions under the authority and direction of the Holy Spirit.

Commit your works each day to Jesus and pray for wisdom to make good decisions. God speaks to believers so listen for His voice.

Making decisions start by faith. The Holy Spirit will speak clearly and show you the right pathway. If the Holy Spirit is silent this is usually a go ahead signal from God.

If you feel confusion do not make a decision. Pray and wait on God.

The Christ follower has to accept that he belongs to Jesus and He can do with a believer as He desires.
