Your will be done!

God's will is probably one of the most important things to find for your

life, and yet, many find it difficult to say the words in *Matt 6:9...Our

Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come, Your

will be done On earth as it is in heaven.* Many people are looking for

relationships, money, fame, or planning for their future. For the believer,

we must understand that this life is passing by, and it seems to me that it

is passing by quicker everyday. We were bought with a price as it is

written in *Acts 20:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the

Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God,

and that you are not your own [property]? 20 You were bought with a price

[you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His

own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.* We are called to

something different than the rest of the world. We are called to testify of

the good news of Jesus Christ to everyone we come in contact with and we

are to live our lives unto the Lord Jesus and not to ourselves. *Acts 20:24

But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that

I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from

the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious,

undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us

eternal life].* What will all of our accomplishments mean if there have

been souls lost that we could of helped along our journey. Charles Spurgeon

wrote, "I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all

the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to

live for". To say to God, Your will be done, is easier than actually doing

it. Dear heavenly Father, please help us, Your children, surrender our

lives, our will to You. Help us to honor and glorify You in all that we do.

Help us to stay focused on the race before us and fulfill the ministry that

You have entrusted to each of us. In Jesus name, amen
