Today was an interesting day. It had its ups and downs. Points of great joy and others of immense sadness. There is so much in life that I wish I could change...so much that I wish I could fix. I mean, I do fix what I can and try to do it quickly, but there are still things in life that I want to fix! I was reading this passage the other day in Ephesians and found peace in it.
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3:14-21
From this passage, I find comfort in the fact that God is in control and has a plan for me that is more than I can ever ask for or even imagine. There is this one thing that I long for in my life...I take rest in the fact that God knows what it is and will work with it beyond my wildest dreams!
Today I meet with one of the wisest men I know and we discussed the topic of the will of God. We talked about how we discover the will of God and grow closer to Him. He shared that to know the will of God we need to be close to Him. We need to be willing to take risks for God and build that relationship with God. Not blind leaps of faith, but rather spirit lead risks. I hope this is making sense (cause it is like 2:23am lol).
So I guess all of this was to say that I am finding peace in the fact that God has a plan and it is immeasurably more than I could ask for or imagine.
The will of God is vast and great!!
