Surrendering to God’s will is not easy. We can think of a thousand different reasons why we should follow our own heart, think it through and make our own decisions. Do we underestimate God so much, that we think we’re smarter than He or that we have brains given to us by Him which will calculate the path we should walk? God indeed is beyond our human intelligence. His plans were set in motion before we ever came to be. Like a great composer, He wrote all the beautiful chords, made harmony out of chaos, filled the music with energy, inspiration and love. He even knew that man would fall away from Him, before Adam and Eve ever disobeyed Him. He could hear all the dissonance of wrong notes through many emotional ups and downs. He created those to sharpen our focus and help us concentrate on the song.

So, what exactly is God’s will and how do we follow it? When we take our situations directly to Him in prayer, we have some insight into what He has planned for us. When we study His Word, the Bible, we see how He has inspired many examples of humanity into those pages. If our prayers don’t get answered immediately, God may be putting a plan into action to make it possible. If the response from Him is a definite “NO,” it will soon become apparent to us that it wasn’t the right choice for us in the first place. We may have to wait. We may not understand why. We most definitely aren’t responsible for the outcome, but we will have peace with God’s choice for us.

Let the Creator of the Universe fill you in on His plan for you. Let Him show you how you can be a part of the work that needs to be done here on earth. Allow His power to make all things possible, to lead you with His right hand, into the life He has already composed for you.
