God’s will
5 July 2010

The care that a servant takes to do the will of God shows the level of communion he has with the Lord. To please God is to freely and spontaneously do His will. This is the most beautiful desire that motivates the lives of those who are truly servants of the Almighty.

It’s nothing new that most people are worried about their lives, busy pursuing their own pleasures. But it’s painful to see that among them there are those who, despite their vast knowledge of the Bible, still have not had a personal experience with the Saviour.

How can we serve Someone we don’t know? How can we please or do the will of an Unknown God?

Yet those who are born of the Holy Spirit don’t have this problem. They know perfectly well what the will of the Lord is because they are servants; they were born to serve, and not to be served. They know what the will of their Lord is. Whether they do it or not, that’s a different matter. But when they please their Lord, He causes their dreams to come true naturally, without anxiety, stress, or anything else. Besides, God’s will never goes against the well-being of His children.

As a Father, He knows what is best for His children. Many times, or almost always, people try to use their faith in order to have what they want before the right time. Now I ask: Can a child handle a thousand dollars?

Using faith to receive material blessings is fine, but it should always be done with a faith that is in line with the will God, so that their blessing does not turn into a curse.
