no.390 140525 Thank you for God's will

Summer fun party ideas:)

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, 

but be transferred by the renewing of your mind. 

Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - 

his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2

I had a pretty tiring sunday, even more than usual. When I got home from church, I ate whatever I saw on my kitchen counter and passed out on the floor. I had to get up in an hour due to a meeting, but it was a nice nap for sure.

Today's sermon, and the work meeting interestingly shared a similar point. I sometimes forget to as "why" I want and do certain things in life. For instance, as my pastor mentioned, why do I want to know God's will? I always, always, and always pray that in every single aspect of my life, that I want things to happen according to God's plan. I guess I never really asked myself why I so eagerly want this. I couldn't disagree with my pastor when he said how us wanting to know God's will is to benefit ourselves. This is very true because, life is full of decisions and many take a lot of time, thought, prayer and advice before coming to a conclusion. Many times I prayed to God to just tell me straight up because that will make my life so much easier. It is true that many times, I was seeking for God's will for my sake. I am reminded that the reason why I am pursuing God's will is to glorify God alone. So let's not forget to ask the question "why" in the things we do and what we pray about.
