For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.

 "How great you are, O Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.  -  2 Samuel 7: 21, 22 (NIV)

God's Explanation...

Sometimes, we seek what we cannot find

We try to perceive with our feeble minds...

God's Explanation.

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Romans 8:5 (NIV)

We try to presume, and our journey we attempt to trace;

When all along, we are led ONLY by GRACE...

God's Explanation.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8: 28 (NIV)

He wills that it be - It's not up for debate

It our place to follow and rely on our faith...

God's Explanation.

Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you." Matthew 9: 29 (NIV)

 

Isn't it enough that He died for us all?

Is it fair for us to be reluctant - when our Savior calls?

(Are we still asking) God's Explanation?

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen Galatians 1: 3 -5 (NIV)

 

The question we should be asking isn't "WHY". The question that we ought to be asking is: "Where would you have me go, Lord?"

Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. Psalm 119: 1 (NIV)

We all need to get to the point, where we repent and sincerely petition God to forgive us - and plea that he would remember no more our sins...(all "according to His love") :

• Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. Psalm 25: 7 (NIV)
• Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Psalm 51: 1 (NIV)
• May your unfailing love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise. Psalm 119: 41 (NIV)

We also need to remember that because of Calvary, God does not treat us the way we deserve to be treated...

He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. Psalm 103: 10 (NIV)

 

Even though at times, it's difficult to follow God's will - we need to remember It's about HIM, not US!

 And that's why we pray:

"THY WILL BE DONE on earth as it is in heaven"

 

Hey Corina! Yeah, that's AWESOME! God is so good. Man, there's such a battle going on in my heart. I often wonder, "Who is Lord?" I suppose that I ought to stop asking that and start claiming God's rule over my life and say, "JESUS IS LORD." Amen?

i love those scriptures. GOd is so awesome. John 15:16 is definately one of my favorite scriptures. That whole chapter is wonderful. GOd is great like that. Have you heard that song "There is no one like you" by David Crowder? it went along to one of the scriptures above. Have a fabulous weekend!

Thought I'd stop by and warm myself by the fires of your heart!
