God's will or yours?

"And lo, I am with you always.'' - Matthew 28:20 (NKJV)

God's will ... different?

Can it be

Is it true

What we believe to be God's will one day

may not be another day.

How can we

follow the path

we believe God has laid out for us

if it may change at a moment's notice

Have you stopped to consider ...

We can follow the Lord, yes,

but we each can make changes,

detours along the way

that may prove to be

vastly different from God's plan.

Have we asked God

about the detour we ponder taking

or have we made our own decision

Is it right or or is it wrong --

to seek God's will

perhaps find it

but ignore it

to discredit it

to say no, God's doesn't know.

I know.

God's will ... different?

Perhaps it is our will

that is different

out of step

not in tune with His

If we are really His believers,

His followers,

living under His truth,

in obedience to Him,

our will would be His will.

We would look anew

every day

at what He

has to say

to us.

We would continually

ask of Him ...

Lord, is this the way?

Lord, what will you have for me today?

Lord, show me how to get out of this pity party.

Lord, where do you want me to go today?

Lord, who do you want me to be a blessing to today?

Lord, is this the job you want me to continue?

Lord, what is your desire for me this day?

"Lo, I am with your always"

Jesus tells us

Where are we

Are we with Him?

Have we forgotten

what He has taught us

Do we follow and listen

only to the sounds

of our steps

within our heart and mind,

within our personal observations

and experiences

Or,

can we truthfully say

we seek God's will

and rejoice when we do find
