Romans 12:1-2, “So then, my friends, because of God's great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect."
- A tragic accident takes a husband from his family.
- The unexpected loss of a job leaves parents and children fearful and without provision.
- A young woman continues to wait for marriage, but each of her boyfriends says he still needs more time.
- Loss of money in business partnership
- No savings after many years of working abroad
Sometimes we have the idea that if we just knew what direction to take, following God would be easier. But it never seems to work that way.
How is God operating in our lives? Can we really know His will, and, if so, how can we know it?
Doing God's will demands a decision. And that decision requires faith and action. You can't see the end, so you have to trust Him in faith and then step out. You have to act. Faith and obedience are like twins; they go together.
Hebrews 11:6 tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
Our teaching for today is to help guide you as you seek to know and follow God’s will for your life.
Seek His Word to learn His leading.
Pangarap mo’y kayang abutin,
