Do Things God’s Way

Today’s message was written by my friend, Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope.

You know, when we are born, the laws of God are already established. And, these governing principles are unchangeable… Fixed.

For example, there are the laws of the seasons. The farmer learns these laws and is governed by them. He plants his crop when it is time to plant so that he can reap when it is time to reap. It would be foolish for him to rebel and plant out of season, for this would not change the laws of God. It would only cause the failure of his crop.

So it is with your life. Each day you face a choice – your will or God’s will. If you choose to forget God, to be self-willed, self-centered, it is inevitable that you will have “crop failure” just as a farmer who foolishly plants out of season. But, if you choose to do God’s will as best you understand it, you will reap a harvest of joy and accomplishment.

In Psalm 37:4, the Bible says, “Be delighted with the Lord,” which means, rejoice and be happy doing things God’s way, “then God will give you your heart’s desires.” (Psalm 37:4, The Living Bible)

Let us pray: Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known and from whom no secrets are hidden, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name. Through the grace of Jesus Christ. Amen.
