--GOD'S WILL~~

--Psalm 37:23-40
----
The steps of a good
man are ordered by
the LORD, and He
delights in his way.
--Psalm 37:23--

-WE'RE often looking for God's will--especially when we're in a difficult situation. We wonder, 'What will happen to me here? Should I stay or does God want me somewhere else?' The only way to know for sure is to do what He asks you to do right now--the duty of the present moment--and wait for God to reveal the next step.

As you obey what you know, you will be strengthened to take the next step. Step by step, one step at a time. That's how we learn to walk with God. But you say, "Suppose I take the first step. What will happen next?" That's God's business. Your task and mine is to obey this day and leave the future to Him. The psalmist says our steps are "ordered by the LORD" (37:23). This day's direction is all we need. Tomorrow's instruction is of no use to us at all. George MacDonald said, "We do not understand the next page of God's lesson book: we see only the one before us. Nor shall we be allowed to turn the leaf until we have learned its lesson."

If we concern ourselves with God's will and obey each day the directions and warnings He gives, we will find that God will lead us through this day. As Jesus put it, "Tomorrow will worry about its own things" (Matt. 6:34).

-Blessed is the person who finds out which way God is moving and then goes in that direction.~~
