DEVOTIONAL AND MEDITATION FOR JULY 9 thru JULY 11--DOING GOD'S WILL

GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST!!!! I GIVE PRAISES TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY!!

GOD ALMIGHTY HAS PLACED IN MY HEART AND SPIRIT TO SHARE THIS DEVOTIONAL WITH ALL OF YOU. HALLELUJAH!!!! WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!! AMEN!! I PRAY ALL WHO READ THIS WILL TAKE HEED TO HIS POWERFUL WORDS AND MEDITATE ON IT AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. WE ALL HAVE GREAT WORK TO DO FOR OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AND HIS EXTRAORDINARY KINGDOM AND I FEEL SO BLESSED AND THANKFUL TO BE A PART OF SUCH AN AWESOME ENCOUNTER!!!!

DOING GOD'S WILL

ONCE WE HAVE RECOGNIZE THAT GOD HAS SOMETHING FOR US TO DO, WE SHOULD UNIFY OUR GIFTS AND TALENTS AND BEGIN TO FOCUS ON DOING GOD'S WILL. OFTEN, THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE ORGINALLY DESIRED FOR OURSELVES. THE LORD HAS BLESSED OF WITH SO MUCH POTENTIAL TO DO GREAT WORK FOR HIM AND HIS KINGDOM. AS WE SURRENDER, THE "BIG PICTURE" BECOMES CLEARER.

GOD'S WILL IS OFTEN SHOWN TO US AS A PROJECT WE WANT TO BEGIN, AN IDEA WE WANT TO PURSUE OR AN OPPORTUNITY WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. GOD HAS LAID ON MY HEART TO RETURN TO SCHOOL TO UPGRADE MY EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY BECAUSE ONE OF THE MISSIONS HE HAS PLANNED FOR ME IS TO COUNSEL TROUBLED CHILDREN AND TEENS. I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM TO GET STARTED!!!! HOWEVER I HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT NO MATTER HOW ANXIOUS I AM ABOUT THIS MISSION, ALL WILL COME TOGETHER IN GOD'S TIME. I REALIZE WITH EACH DAY THAT HE HAS BEEN PREPARING ME FOR THIS MISSION ALL MY LIFE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I LOOK BACK AT THINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. MANY TIMES WE AREN'T IN TUNE WITH ALL THAT GOD DOES FOR US. AS HUMANS WE ARE PRONED TO SEE THE BIGGER INSTEAD OF THE SMALLER THINGS IN LIFE. WE ARE PRONED TO VIEW THE GOOD MANY TIMES OVER WHAT GOOD CAN COME OVER OF A DIFFICULT SITUATION. "GOD IS SO ABLE!! HALLELUJAH!!!!" AS HE MOLDS AND RESTORES ME TO DO HIS WILL I SEE MORE AND MORE HOW WONDERFUL AND AMAZING HE IS.

THE WILL OF GOD IS ALWAYS POSITIVE. IT IS NEVER NEGATIVE. IF WE WANT GOD'S WILL FOR OUR LIVES, WE MUST FOCUS ON WHAT WE WANT- NOT WHAT WE DON'T WANT.

DOING GOD'S WILL INCLUDES POSITIVE THINKING, SPEAKING AND ACTING. TOO FEW OF US REALIZE THE POWER OF THE TONGUE. SCRIPTURE SAYS OUR TONGUES GIVE US THE POWER TO BLESS OR CURSE--TO GIVE LIFE OR DEATH "DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE". THIS IS TELLING US, LETTING US KNOW THAT GOD GAVE US THE POWER TO SPEAK EITHER LIFE OR DEATH TO OUR LIFE'S SITUATIONS. ANYONE SEEKING TO FOCUS ON GOD'S WILL SHOULD REALIZE THAT GOD'S WILL IS TO BLESS AND GIVE LIFE. THEREFORE, WHEN WE THINK, SPEAK OR ACTIN WAYS THAT ARE UNJUST, NOT LOVING AND UNKIND, WE ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE WILL OF GOD FOR OUR LIVES. TO HARMONIZE WITH GOD'S WILL, WE MUST BE OPEN TO CHANGE.
