GOD’S WILL MY WAY

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:29

 Note Moses' excuses for not doing the will of God, God's way in Exodus 3:

3:11     Who am I? 

3:13     What is your name? Aren't you glad God didn't say, "I hope to be."

4:1       What if they won't listen?  Cf. 3:18

4:10     I can't speak well.

4:13     I just can't do it.

See how God responded in 3:7-10, 12, 16-17, 20-21. Like so many of us, Moses heard what he wanted to hear. Is that you?  Not taking God seriously? In essence, God says to Moses and to us, "Why do you want all the answers when you have all of Me? 

Moses RESISTED the will of God.  Are you?  Moses RETREATED from the will of God.  Is that what you're doing, Jonah?  I mean...child of God.  Finally, Moses RESIGNED himself to the will of God.  Will you?

Families experience doubt about themselves, their job, their lives because husbands won't resign themselves to the will of God and love their wives.  Wives won't resign themselves to the will of God and submit to their husbands.  Children won't resign themselves to the will of God and obey their parents.

In our search for significance, we snub others and honor God with our lips but our hearts are far from Him. Today, stop resisting the will of God. Stop running from the will of God.  Resign yourself to the will of God with the same attitude that Jesus had as it is described for us in Philippians 2:5-11. If you do, then you will experience God’s will God’s way.
