His Will Be Done

[My Offline Bible] Hebrews 13
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I pray God makes me perfect in every good work to do His will, working in me that which is well pleasing in His sight.

I have realised that many Christians only follow God at their convenience. Many do their own will and make it look like God's will only because both fall on same state pwr time. Otherwise, they use God as excuse to perpetrate their own evil cause. He wants to oppress his wife, he has enough scriptures twisted to paliate his conscience, he wants to oppress a subordinate he has enough religious reasoning to make it look good. He wants to disobey leadership he knows enough religious jargons to have his way: there isn't anything evil that evil hearts won't justify.
But good and sincere Christian hearts will seek God's will and do it. Self seeking and always expecting our own desires to come to pass weaken the strength of our walk with God no matter how religious we make it sound. In a world of deadly competitions among the holy, we must stop and quietly ask why we do what we do, we must ask if it's God's will we seek, we must stop and ask if our expectations of others are towards pleasing God or pleasing self. We must ask who is truly glorified, we or God, we must ask who truly gets paid, we or God?
That's the essence of the prayer above, it's time to leave all into God's hand and come to trust God enough to permit Him work out His will in our lives...that alone glorifies Him.
Don't justify evil because it pays you, don't assume you are in God's will when it's obvious you are hurting people around you. Don't think whatever pleases you must please God, don't bring yourself into unnecessary competition with God...find out His will and do it.
I pray that His will be done in our lives, homes, jobs and ministries today in Jesus name! Good morning!
