Free Will to choose God's Will

"Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes." Psalm 37:7

We all have good times and bad times, happy moments and sad moments, the ups and the downs, in our life. How do you deal with them??

There are so many different ways to handle these situations on this walk called life, but ultimately choosing the "correct" one can be a challenge. How do we know what the "right choice" is? It all comes down to what pleases God. I don't believe that there is "just one way" to please God. While we do have a free will to make our choices, good or bad, there is not just one good choice and one bad choice.

How does one know the will of God? Ask. By Prayer. Constant prayer. Pray to do the will of God. Pray for grace from God to do good in all things. Pray to imitate Christ! Set a goal to live life for Christ.

Ultimately, put Christ at the center and watch everything else line up! In the trying moments of life, choosing the words, deeds, actions that are pleasing to God will be an automatic response! 




David Crowder Band "Light and Shadows"

Life is full of light and shadow
O the joy and O the sorrow
O the sorrow

And yet will He bring
Dark to light
And yet will He bring
Day from night

When shadows fall on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When darkness falls on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When all seems lost
When we're thrown and we're tossed
We remember the cost
We rest in Him
Shadow of the cross
