Will God’s will!
Reading: Numbers 22:1-25
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye. Don’t be like the horse or like the mule,
which have no understanding, which must be controlled by bit
and bridle or they will not come to you” (Psa 32:8,9)
Another dead fly that can putrefy our perfume is IGNORANCE OF GOD’S WILL. My oftrepeated prayer is, “Lord, keep me from making big mistakes in life.” Some think it is difficult to know God’s will. He is ready to give us eye signs but do we maintain eye contact with Him? Eve missed the will of God when she took her eyes off God’s word to see the forbidden fruit.
Balaam was supposed to be a wise man. He had difficulty knowing God’s will. God had to put the bit and the bridle to get him walk His way. (Were his eyes not looking at the profit?). Isn’t it humorous that his donkey was wiser than him? (Num 22:23). Peter, writing about him in his second Epistle states, “A dumb donkey restrained the madness of the prophet” (2:16). In other words, he became a moral dunce. Yes, the price you pay to do God’s will is far less than the price you will have to pay not to do it.
In Ephesians we are admonished, “Therefore do not be foolish but understand what the Lord’s will is” (5:17). Proceeding in life without knowing what the Lord would have us do is wasting a lot of time and energy. Each of us should pray regularly like Paul, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” Then He will guide us as He guided Paul, if we have a willing heart to do His will like him.
Many of us do many good things that are not God’s will for us. If we weed them out, we will have enough energy and time to do what God really wants us to do. When you pull out the weeds the flower plant will flourish. Life is measured. Save every drop of time. We are not left with much time. Understand what God wants you to do with the rest of your life and pour yourself heart and soul into it than splashing through life with all limbs like an unlearned swimmer.
Finding God’s will could be tricky if you are not open. Let God have the last word. Mary as a young girl was quite confused when God’s angel revealed God’s will for her life. Though unacceptable and weird, she said a resounding ‘Yes.’ Blessed was she!
Let’s say, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to Your word” (Lk 1:38).
