Daily Wisdom

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thess 5:18

Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place on the object we’re waiting on. In light of that, are we as eager to wait as patiently in God’s will as we are in pursuing ours? When pressure or suffering mounts in your life you come to realize you have one of two responses for your situation. You can react with an unwillingness to endure in your faith by responding in selfish actions that subdue or appease your will or you can hold to your faith in a willingness to risk everything on God’s will.  Willingness of faith is not about man getting his will done in heaven, but getting God’s will done in man. It’s not about overcoming reluctance, but laying hold of God’s will in your life. The willingness to deny self-will is the very spirit of Jesus, it’s the heart and soul of his Gospel. Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear human uncertainty, with faith in the certainty of his promises.

The effectiveness of God’s will in your life works by your willingness to relent to it.
