GETTING TO KNOW HOW GOOD LIFE CAN BE
As we pay attention to God’s Word as recorded in the Bible, and do what He says, He will begin to reveal His will for our lives. God has good plans for us and He’s more than willing to make those plans known to us. He promises us a life that is even better than we could ask for or imagine. This is the purpose of prayer and meditation--to get to know the good things God has planned for us--and then shape our lives around His life-giving principles. As we act on what God teaches us, we become more and more conscious of how well His ways work in all our relationships.
Jesus said: But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come. If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. (John 15:7, Jeremiah 33:3, James 1:5-6a NLT)
Meditation and reading scripture reveal to us the nature of God and the promises He has made. Underneath the "spiritual exercises" is God's desire to affirm His unfailing love for us. As we pray and meditate on God’s Word, we are not seeking to simply learn facts about God, but to consciously get to know Him and His Ways.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged. (John 16:13, Psalm 69:32 NLT)
As we become familiar with God’s character and ways and make this the foundation for our daily living we will become more and more aware of the loving and uplifting presence of God that is always with us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I welcome the work of Your Holy Spirit to guide me as You reveal Your will for my life. I am grateful that you give me the desire and power to carry out what You have prepared in advance for me to do. Help me to humbly honour You in all my ways as I chose to serve You in Your plan for my life. Amen
