Today's edification through this devotion deals concisely with the thought of "believing for things in the will of God for your life". A few bedrocks in the nature of the will of God for your life: 1) Undoubtedly, remain in acknowledgement that there is a will of God for your life - see below Ephesians 5:7; proverbs 3:5 2) Be conscious of how to seek the will of God for your life (ultimately, the word of God gives you instructions and doctrines pertaining to circumstances of life)- see below 2 Timothy 3:16; Psalms 119:105 3) Understand that fulfillment of the will of God for your life is not based on measures (the amount of times) you request for the will of God to be fulfilled in your life. The irony of measures (either few or many) without the right stuff such as trusting in God are empty (vain) which leads to our next bedrock #4 - see below Matthew 6:7 4) Trusting in God is essential for fulfillments - see below Romans 3:3-4 5) Last but not least, overcoming self and outside influences that resist the will of God for your life has to become a lifestyle (for example: cast down imaginations that are triggered from outside (outside of yourself) influences that attempt questioning about the will of God for your life. Regarding self, for example, if you try to figure out exactly how, when, and where God will accomplish the will of God for your life it can open a door for questioning. You do not have to exactly figure out how, where, and when God will perform it (the will of God for your life), just trust he will help you accomplish it. The attempts (for example: outside questionings and oneself trying to exactly figure it out), attempts to exalt themselves above the knowledge of God and you have to use the word of God (bedrock #2) to keep your mind subject to the will of God for your life - obedience to Christ. God will do his part and the above concise 1-5 bedrocks hopefully helps you see your foundational part - see below 2 Corinthians 10:5; Proverbs 3:5 Now, go get it: "keep believing for what you are believing for". You and your families have an awesome day!
