Seek to do the will of God [ March 26,2023 ]
Seek to do the will of God
Deuteronomy 28:1
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee high above all nations of the earth:
According to the verse above seeking to do the will of God involves obeying all His commands. Not some but all.
John 15:7 says
If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask what you will and it shall be done unto you ( paraphrased)
This verse confirms the one from Deuteronomy 28, it also says if you obey God’s commands, then you shall be blessed abundantly. God will lift you above all nations or cause you to prosper and He will give whatever you ask for.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him
This verse from the new testament adds another dimension to what we have to do in order to fulfill the will of God.
It says we must have faith. Without that it is impossible to please God or live according to His will.
Faith requires that we believe without any doubt that God is able to do all things.
God be with you.
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Doing the will of God must be your utmost desire.
Prayer
Let this hymn be your prayer
Thy kingdom come O God
Thy rule O Christ begin
Break with thine iron rod
The tyrannies of sin
When comes the promised time
When war shall be no more
And lust, oppression crime
Shall flee thy face before
Amen
