MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
You ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do
this or that." James 4:15
Be slow to take new steps in the Lord's service, or in your
business, or in your families. Weigh everything well; all in
the light of the Holy Scriptures, and in the fear of God. Seek
to have no will of your own, in order ascertain the mind of
God, regarding any steps you propose to take, so that you can honestly say, you are willing to do the will of God, if He
will only please to instruct you. But when you have found out what the will of God is, seek for His help, and seek it earnestly, perseveringly, patiently, believingly, and expectingly: and you will surely, in His own time and way, obtain it. (George Mueller)
PRAY ABOUT IT: Today is a day for taking inventory. What
is our work? Is it God's choice for us, or our own choosing?
Has it been fruitful? Is it time to move on? Or are we indeed
exactly where God wants us? Far too often we don't move forward because we don't take time to reflect on our lives.
Then when we are old we wonder how we missed God's call
to something better. And make no mistake, if God's calling
you to move on, it's to something better. But don't move hastily --- that's as big a mistake as staying too long. Simply pray and ask God to reveal His will. He will make it plain.
The saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
