TOPIC: Living In His Perfect Will (Rhapsody of Realities 21 July 2022)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:
The Bible tells us about the good, the acceptable or permissive will, and the perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). The good will of God is His general will. The acceptable will of God is one that He allows, not because thereās nothing better, but because of your insistence on it. Thereāre people that God granted what they were asking for even though it wasnāt His perfect will for them. Can God do that? Emphatically yes! Itās in the Bible. In 1 Samuel 8:1-22, the Israelites asked for a king because they wanted to be like other nations. Samuel the Prophet refused because it was contrary to Godās plan for His people.

But following their importunity, God had to instruct Samuel to do as the people had demanded. He said to Samuel, āā¦Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over themā (1 Samuel 8:7). Think about it: God still helped them select the king, even though it wasnāt His perfect will for them to have one.
Sadly, thereāre people who live outside of the perfect, the acceptable, and the good will of God. The school they attended, the course they studied, their career or business, the city they live in, etc., all their decisions were circumstantial, and as such, they live circumstantial lives. This isnāt Godās desire for His children.
How do you know and walk in Godās perfect will for your life? Itās through the knowledge of His Word and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is the will of God expressed. Through studying the Word and spending time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you become filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Talk to the Lord about your lifeās decisions. Heās interested in everything about your life. Perhaps youāre learning of this truth for the first time and youāre unsure what your path is, itās important for you to know that God has a perfect will for you. His will for you is an excellent life.
Itās not too late to turn to Him who has all answers. Yield yourself completely to the transforming power of His Word and surely, youāll āā¦discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfectā (Romans 12:2 ESV).
PRAYER
Dear Father, Iām walking in sync with your Spirit and following your perfect plan for my life. Everything I require within the ambits of your will for me is supplied at the right time.
