Thoughts

Just a few thoughts I thought I'd share.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about God's Will for my life. I want to follow His will just how He has it planned out for me. A few things that have meant a lot to me lately..

All of the verses of "Have Thine Own Way, Lord", but I'm just going to share some parts.

Have Thine own way, Lord.
Thou are the Potter, I am the clay.
Mould me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, Yielded and still.

Fill with Thy Spirit Till all shall see
Christ only, always, Living in me!

Last night I read in Acts 21, where the prophet Agabus, bounded Paul and was going to take him.. And still in that situation, read what Paul said..
vs 13..."for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
Then the next verse Paul says "The will of the Lord be done.."

Even in that state of persecution, Paul still wanted whatever the Lord willed for his life.

I hope I can always be that submissive to God.
Sometimes it's so hard to always be content. I feel like I'm a person who always wants to be moving to the next thing. Even though this is my last semester of college, I need to be content with it.. and not wish the next few months away like I always want to.
...And if I'm doing God's will then I shouldn't be wishing my time away.

It's something that is so hard for me to do.. to be content where I am NOW. Be content today, not always looking into the future. To not tell myself that in May, when I'm done with college.. then I'll be content. Or looking into the future even more and telling myself that's when I'll be content and finally feel like life is "good"... or what I thought would make life "good."
But life is good(really good) if I follow His will for me, not what I want or thought would make life good.

God's Will.
Nothing More.
Nothing Less.
Nothing Else.

I heard that last weekend and it's really stuck with me.

One of my favorite verses, " ..but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart."
Ephesians 6:6

I hope you and I both can do what God wants us to do. To be content where we are, because God has us in this situation right now for a reason. It's His will!
