God's Will or Our Will?

Good Morning! TEX: Proverbs Day 14: Prov 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. You know for many years of my life I thought I knew what would be good for me. I thought that I could live the lifestyle of addiction and still be a productive person. I knew that the way I was living wasn't right, and it was only causing problems in my life, but Hey, I was having fun! I was partying it up and having a good time. When in reality my life was a shambles and I was miserable. And I would be OK, because I believed in God! I believed in His Son Jesus. So I could live the way I was and I was still going to get to Heaven. You know this is one of the biggest Lies Satan tells us. "Oh! Don't worry! You can live how you want, and as long as you believe, you will be saved." Today! I just can't go along with that statement. In 2Corinth 5:17 it tells us that when we become believers in Christ, the new has come and the old passes away. So when I really think about it, there is no way I can live a life of satisfying all my earthly desires and still claim to be a believer in Christ. As it says in the Lords Prayer, Your will be Done! 4 Years ago when I truly gave my life to the Lord, I had to make a decision, was I going to keep on living the way I wanted to? Or was I going to try and live the way God wanted me to? And I want to share something with you today! My life is so much better today. Granted it is not all Peaches and Cream and living in a Rose Garden. But it is way,way better than it used to be. I no longer need a Drink or a Drug to make me feel good. I no longer feel the pain of loneliness and the feeling of being on the outside. But something else I want to share. Being a Christian is not easy, we have to work at it. For all those years it was easy living My Will! But let me tell you you have to put some work into living Gods Will. In Prov 14:15 it says, A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. And in Vs 18 it says, The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Today I have learned I have to work at being in Gods Will! I have to get in His Word each day, I have to spend time with Him each day. I have to let Him help me plan my steps each day. Because the plans I make only lead to death. So today I am asking you? Who's will are you following today? Gods or Yours? There is only one that is right! And to seek His Will, we have to do some work. Now don't get me wrong I am still not Perfect and never will be until the Day of Jesus! But I am trying to do Gods Will. And it takes work! Daily Bible reading, Daily Prayer, Daily time with God so I can know His Will. Without these things I myself have found it hard to stay in His will. So who's will are you doing today? Yours or Gods? HABD!
