“Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 (God’s Word)
When we move ourselves and our expectations of how things are supposed to be out of the way, we lay the foundation for God’s blessings. Spiritual surrender is paramount if we are to experience the limitless blessings He has in store for us. God will lead us toward our good if we just let Him, but too often we get in the way of our own good. Be careful. Self imposed will can take us just where we intend it to. But, God’s will always leads us to where He wants us to be.
Here’s the deal - we can either let life unfold on its own - for it will- or decide to actively participate through prayer and faith in God’s plan for us. Here is the blueprint for Divinely Inspired Living. It is the Faith Formula:
Surrender (let go and let God) + Belief (know that God will lead you to your good) + Patience (wait on the Lord) = Faith Don’t forget: The Lord helps those who help themselves, or as you've heard time and time again, if you take one step, He'll take two. That means waking up each day with the intent to let Him order your steps. If you stay open to the faith concept of Divinely Inspired Living, that, in and of itself is spiritual progress. Then watch what happens. And, if the path He has chosen for you at the time seems tough, thank Him anyway, right then and there. For even through the tough times, Divine order prevails, and we persevere and we grow.*
