Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 3:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
As we acknowledge FATHER in all that we do, HE will direct our footsteps. We don’t have to wait until HE gives us a specific directive but we need to simply do HIS will in all that we do and HE will lead us into HIS perfect plan. We are not meant to sit around and wait on a “Word”.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 139:
1 Lord, YOU know everything there is to know about me.
2 YOU perceive every movement of my heart and soul,
and YOU understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.
3–4 YOU are so intimately aware of me, Lord.
YOU read my heart like an open book
and YOU know all the words I’m about to speak
before I even start a sentence!
You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.
5 YOU’VE gone into my future to prepare the way,
and in kindness YOU follow behind me
to spare me from the harm of my past.
With YOUR hand of Love upon my life,
YOU impart a blessing to me.
None of us leads a life independent of FATHER’S knowledge and view. None of us can claim to take steps that FATHER would not be aware of thus there is no such thing as HIS permissive Will. You are either in HIS Will or out of HIS Will.
Our responsibility is to seek HIS Will in all things and I assure you that the only way to do that is through Jesus Christ and being led by The Holy Spirit. This is a broken world thus we will suffer delays, challenges, apparent failures, and other trials. FATHER didn’t cause those but Jesus instructed us to say to the “mountain” be thou removed!
Yes, mountains will arise in our walk but we are to overcome those mountains as directed by The Holy Spirit and each time will be unique to the circumstances. Do not try to create a formula which is an indication that the mind wants to supersede THE SPIRIT.
FATHER will have a different path for each situation so that we will be able to see HIS Way when confronted with obstacles. Circumstances change the situation and HE has anticipated every challenge we face. HIS Divine Intent will not be denied to those who walk according to HIS SPIRIT.
The Word makes it very clear what HIS Will is when conducting our daily affairs. In essence, It is a roadmap for us to follow along with specifics given to us by HIS Spirit. There are many way to end up at the proper destination and The Holy Spirit will provide the best route to take each time we are given alternatives.
We must walk out HIS Will and not just sit around doing nothing. I don’t need a “Word” to give to the poor for we are given the directive to do so. Let us be active in doing FATHER’S Will!
