READING: Psalm 16:5-11.
“I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.” (John 5:30)
The Lord Jesus Christ gives a good example to live by in our daily lives, especially when we are making fresh plans for the new year. In that, it will be essential to seek the will of our Heavenly Father and to do it.
As some usually are used to, we may hardly consider what the will of our Father is when making new plans. But note here how the Lord emphasizes the importance of doing the Father’s will. We have to remember that we are not our own; we do not have absolute control of life on earth. He owns us and we owe our lives to Him.
As the Apostle Paul said in Acts 17:28, “for in Him we live and move and have our being…” Understand that we are part of our Heavenly Father and we must also make Him part of our daily lives by seeking to live according to His will. Make it a point to pray His will in every area of your life. Seek to know and to do His will by daily making time to pray to ask Him. He will let you know it. Jesus is coming soon!
🙏🏽 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I pray that my life this year will be according to Your perfect will and that my life will be better than last year, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
