As we begin another year, I feel I have found the perfect words that capture my heart's desire. Written by Roy Lessin of Meet Me In The Meadow
Moving Ahead in God’s Will
If we strive to remain in God's will there are many assurances the Bible gives
one of which is echoed by the Apostle Paul
Moving Ahead in God’s Will
Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. Hebrews 10:9 KJV
“Chance” and “luck” do not sit on the throne of heaven, but a loving, personal Creator does. Life is not a gamble and fate does not guide your destiny. God did not bring you into this world to live without a purpose, to exist without a reason, or function without meaning. He loves you, cares about you, and wants you to know Him and do His will.
He has chosen you and prepared you for the work He has called you to do. When your heart is set on His will, you will have the assurance that He will be to you all that you need. This confidence of faith allows you to move through each day with a peaceful spirit, inward rest, and quiet trust.
In the coming year, remember these five important things regarding God’s will for your life.
1. Place—Be in God’s place in His perfect time.
2. Peace—Let His peace keep you at rest in the place He has called you.
3. Purpose—Believe God’s purpose for you will be fulfilled in the place He has you.
4. Plan—Have confidence that nothing can frustrate God’s perfect plan for you.
5. Power—Receive His Spirit to equip and empower you to do what He has called you to do.

"I know whom I have believed
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."
(2 Timothy 1:12, NIV)
Another assurance comes from Psalm 25:8-10, The Message
And it reads:
(2 Timothy 1:12, NIV)
Another assurance comes from Psalm 25:8-10, The Message
And it reads:
8 God is fair and just;
He corrects the misdirected,
Sends them in the right direction.
9 He gives the rejects his hand,
And leads them step-by-step.
10 From now on every road you travel
Will take you to
God.
Follow the Covenant signs;
Read the charted directions.
As God has determined
He will continue to if we let Him.
The onus falls on you and I.
I have decided to let him continue to determine
and to strive to abide in His will
What about you?
