The will of God is not like a magic package let down from heaven by a string. The will of God is far more like a scroll that unrolls every day. The will of God is something to be discerned and to be lived out every day of our lives. It is not something to be grasped as a package once for all. Our call, therefore, is basically not to follow a plan or a blueprint, or to go to a place or take up a work, but rather to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul Little
The old axiom regarding Walking the Walk rather than just Talking the Talk certainly applies in the church today. We have too many in the bride of Christ going through the motions but never really getting anywhere. In my opinion this is one of the biggest challenges facing the bride. If every believer were to get in his or her place and start walking out God’s perfect will for their life there would be such an overwhelming change in the bride that those on the outside could not resist finding out what it was all about.
The most noticeable change would be the “confidence” believers would walk in. Have you ever been around someone who really had that kind of confidence? I don’t mean the ones who are trying to make themselves believe something, but the ones who truly know who they are, whose they are, and where they are going. When you meet someone like that there is a quiet confidence in their demeanor, not a forceful drive to accomplish some personally set goal. Someone who knows that the path they are on is the one that God ordained from them is a spiritual force to be reckoned with.
I have met these believers in all walks of life and they all share one common element; they have learned the secret to freedom in life. They have come to that moment where a conscious decision was made to take their hands off the “steering wheel” for good. What makes them different is that they have learned that it takes more than just a commitment; it takes a burning desire to serve the One in control by following His perfect will.
Pro 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Jesus paid the price with His blood to open the throne room to us and provide the continual grace we need to become more like Him every day, but that requires assuming the servant’s role, which is the secret to entering into a beautiful Walk With Jesus.
