Today’s Scripture: Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:15 ESV
Today, this moment we can know God’s will. In James 4:2-3 we are told we do not have because we do not ask or we ask wrongly. Can we ask God to help us to ask rightly? Sure we can and also ask Him to help our hearts to desire His will over all of our other desires.
Besides not asking he says sometimes we do not receive because we will consume what we receive on our own passions or some translations state consume them upon our own lusts. Guilty as charged. Too often I have looked to consume God’s blessings but today I want to confess to God I am ready to live and do His will over my own and over the offerings of this world.
I desire to seek God over all others including myself. Yes LORD I will live and do this or that.
Have you become willing to live and do God’s will?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I am asking to know Your will. I am also asking Your forgiveness for those times I have consumed Your blessings upon my own lusts. I need You LORD to reveal Your will to me and to prepare my heart to desire Your will over all others. I choose to live and do Your will. Purify me of all things that stand in my way. Amen.
