Hymn 206, “Gracious
Redeemer” (1st Verse)
Two things that make our walk with God easier: the first thing -
understanding the Will of God for Heavenly Wisdom. Ecclesiastes 10:10, “Wisdom is profitable to
direct.” James 1:5, wisdom
from above. It’s easily
accessible. Sharpen that dull
blade in your life. Some decisions
cannot be made properly when you’re in your mouth. After awhile - if the blade / your blade
/ your life is dull… sharpen your life again- using God throughout your
day (for wisdom). Ephesians 5:17, start the day with God and God’s will is for that day and ask for
understanding. Psalms 101:2
(what David wrote), behaving ourselves wisely. We’re not a perfect
people, but we’re in a perfect way. I Peter 3:1 (chaste manner of
life), pure, behaving wisely. One source
of heavenly wisdom, that’s in the sanctuary. Dull spirit – Get wisdom.
We should have a sharp spirit. “All work and no pray makes Jack a dull boy.” The second thing - being resigned. Highest form of worship is being
totally resigned to His will. Romans
9:20 (“clay that resisteth the potter”)
Submit and let it happen and don’t resist. In Daniel, the quick resignation (no matter what) – Daniel
6:20, “He kneeled upon his knees – with no second thought.” Don’t be afraid to bow before God and
be resigned to His will. Don’t be
afraid of the consequences. God
will be honored and He delivered Daniel from the lion’s den. Daniel 3, huge golden image the
king made – at the sound of the music, everyone had to bow. Three Hebrew children refused to bow
before a false God. Daniel 3:16, they didn’t have to think twice about it and they stood while the whole world
was bowing and didn’t give into the sound of the music (giving into false
idolatry). Daniel 3:29, don’t speak against their God. In submission to God, we can be happy being different. Don’t second-guess. Submit to God and be resigned without inner resistance. God has said it and I will do it. Give into God. Know His will by seeking that heavenly wisdom and be resigned. |
