There is a quote in the beginning pages of a devotion I have by Joyce Meyer. It simply states......"Peace comes to every situation when we choose to listen to and obey the Lord. We must follow Wisdom to enjoy blessed lives." Tonight I hold that phrase close to my heart. I believe that we often know what God wills for us to do on this earth and we want to do His will. However wanting and doing are two very different things. I have known for a number of years the will for my life, that thing that will take my sin and allow it to become a blessing but I have been to afraid to follow through. Today that changed. The Lord has a way of allowing you to continue to ignore the will while still trying to give you moments to change and truly follow. The road that i face is both exciting and scary. As I picture it now it is a little like Disney with a frightfully dark stormy sky. I look forward to the journey down the road of His will with still a large paralyzing fear of the bend in the road. So if you are reading this please lift up the will of God in my life with prayers. As I settle down tonight to rest my body and soul I rest on His word. "Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart." (Ephesians 6:6)
