What Does the Will of God Look Like?

Every Friday @ 12:30pm (CST), you can hear a weekly challenge from me on Faith Music Radio. My podcast is called Posted by Rebekah. You can listen online HERE or download the free app for your smartphone. I would love for you to join us, listen and take the challenge!

Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk.

Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)

There are many days in my life that I wonder…is this really all I was meant to do? Come on now, all you moms out there ask yourself the same thing and more than once!

We go through life frustrated looking for the will of God thinking it should look different than it does.

You may say...what is happening in my life right now is not the will of God. How do you know?

What does the will of God look like then?

Our journey is not to find the "will of God" but to find PURPOSE in the "will of God"!

Have you ever thought that you are right now in the "will of God" but are just refusing to accept it?

Finding the "will of God" is not hard. It is submitting to the will of God that is hard.

What is going on TODAY IS God's will!!!

Illustration: When Mary became with child, she most likely dreamed of the day the Son of God would be born. When she had to travel to Bethlehem on a donkey to pay taxes...find there was no room in the inn...had to choose a stable and lay the Son of God in a manger? She probably thought...this can't be the will of God! This is not how I pictured it! Yet it was the will of God!

The will of God may never be how we picture it to be!

So today if you are wondering if you are truly submitting to the will of God…consider these things…

1. There is a surrendering of self.

2. There is a supremacy of Christ.

3. There is a sincere love for others.

4. There is a spirit of thanksgiving.

5. There is a song in your heart.

6. There is a service of Christ.

So today’s challenge is: Don’t just try finding the will of God for your life…submit to that will.

Will you take the challenge?

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
