"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
Do you ever wonder what the will of the Lord is for your life? Although it varies from person to person, there are a few standards that apply to every born-again believer, such as salvation through the blood of Christ, being filled with the Holy Spirit, sanctification (literally meaning to be set apart from this world unto God), submission first to God and then authority, suffering for the sake of Christ, being thankful for all that God has provided, etc. All these are commanded of God's people, and He desires that we follow in them.
While God has given us many abilities to carry out His commands in our daily life and wishes for us to use them wisely, He also desires that we bring every matter, concern, and request before Him. Only through Him are we able to live, breathe, accomplish His will, and persevere through the Christian life as we are daily tempted by the powerful adversary of God. Our strength is not sufficient to compete in the spiritual warfare surrounding us, but with the shield of faith and sword of the Spirit, we will be prepared to meet our foe.
Therefore, come before His throne! Be bold in your salvation through the blood of Christ. Lay your burdens at the feet of the most high God, and let Him lift you up. He is our provider, our hope, our salvation, our rock, our shepherd, our fortress, and our God. He is the Lord of lords, the King of kings, and the Ruler over all that is in earth and in heaven. He will always provide the perfect way for those who love Him.
James 4:10
"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up."
