Into The Unknown?

Into The Unknown?

Generally, when it comes to the future, we obsess about what we don't know, rather than what we do.

The Christian has the Divinely gifted privilege of knowing a lot more about the future than we often appreciate. I believe in prophecy; but that's not what I am speaking of here. I am referring to God's Revealed Will for us personally.

Deuteronomy 29:29, "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law".

Most of God's will for us has been given directly to us in the Scriptures, yet, so often we are preoccupied and distracted by what we don't know.

Let me give you three certainties concerning God's will for you this New Year, if you are a born again child of God:

  1. It is God's will to presence Himself with you:
    Deuteronomy 31:8, "And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed".

  2. It is God's will to make you a stronger and more mature believer:
    Philippians 1:6, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ"

  3. It is God's will to make you Holy:
    1 Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23 "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification,...And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ".

These are only three examples from thousands of Scriptures that reveal what God wants for us. Get searching and start realising God's plan for your life.

May God help us, by faith, to claim these declarations of God's will for us, that we might enter into the blessings He has promised and prepared for us to enjoy!

Have a Happy and Holy New Year in the "good, acceptable and perfect will of God"!
