Safety in the Will of God

Daily Light for October 13, evening:

“This is the will of God, your sanctification.” (1 Thess. 4:3)

“So as to live for the rest of the time no longer for human passions but for the will of God.” (1 Peter 4:2)

“Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth… Therefore put away all filthiness.” (James 1:18, 21)

“Jesus said… ‘Whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3:34-35)

“Everyone then who hears these words of Mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.” (Matt. 7:24-25)

“The world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:17)

How can I be in the will of God? By being obedient to His revealed will in Scripture… being set apart for Him and His purposes and glory instead of my own. (A video I was watching on Radical Womanhood included the phrase, “Do you want to live obsessed with your own glory, or obsessed with the glory of God?”) Not living for myself, living for Him. Knowing that my life is not my own and that He has the charge of me, and I have the charge of following His words. It’s not easy or “natural” - ask those I live and work with! But ultimately, the will of God is the best and safest place to be. There I need have no cares or anxieties, for sin is my only burden and it must decrease while He increases. Let it be so…
