GOD'S WAY, GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WORD
BY PAT GULLEY
Gen 3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (KJV)
God has always been THE MAN with THE PLAN. Nothing takes him by surprise and everything He plans is for His glory and our blessing. God created each and every human being for His own pleasure and His own glory. (Is 14:26) That is the purpose he purposed from the very beginning of Creation and he created you for a specific purpose.
1. GOD'S WAY
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way.
There is one way to live life and that is to choose God's way. I know we have talked about this before, but I want to remind you of the importance of knowing the destination of the Path you are taking. There would be nothing more devastating that to get to the end of your road, and find yourself at a dead end with no way to turn around. While there is still life, breath, and movement in your body, call on the LORD Jesus Christ and humble yourself before Him and you will have no regrets as all your mistakes and wrong choices will be "under the blood" of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2. GOD'S WILL
Ps 40:8 I delight to do thy will, o my God.
It is important for us to realize that God's Will is much better for us than our own will. Even Jesus prayed for God's will and not his own will to be done in His life. King David wrote a Psalm (Ps 40:8) and said that it was his delight to do the will of God. When the Disciples came to Jesus and asked Him to teach them how to pray, He told them their prayers were to always be directed to their Father in Heaven. He also told them that they were to pray for God's will to be done in earth, not only in their lives but in the lives of their loved ones and all other dwellers on this planet. (Mt 6:9-13) As long as we dwell in these vessels of clay we are to pray every day for God's will to prevail over man's will. We are also taught to pray for God's will to prevail over the will of the Devil who is the god of this world. (2Co 4:4) It is good for us to always remember that God's will is not automatically done, or Jesus would not have told us to pray for God's will to succeed.
3. GOD'S WORD
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God and the Word was God.
We must accept the BIBLE as the legitimate written and revealed Word of God. We must agree that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's Word and that God sent Him to earth as His "Show & Tell" to be Heaven's Witness to all humankind. Jesus is to be believed. God's Word was made flesh in the person of Jesus Christ and that Word can be counted on and trusted. Be a Believer. Make a decision to do it God's Way.
God's Way is God's Will and we have God's Word on it.
