Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. -- Proverbs 3:5-6 Do you have some important decisions to make? Maybe you need to make critical choices about a relationship, your career, or concerning your children. Well, regardless of the choices that may be before you, God cares about the decisions you and I will make. And if we let him, he will guide us to make choices that honor him and that will bless us. So let me share a few suggestions that can help you better understand the will of God: ·       First, our choices must align with the moral will of God. The Spirit will never lead us to do anything contrary to the Scripture, his truths, or principles. ·       Second, seek godly advice. Now, don’t seek just anyone’s opinion. Talk to people who know the Scripture, who are personally following God’s will, and who care about your spiritual faithfulness and growth. ·       Third, consider how your choice will impact your immediate relationships. We don’t live in isolation, so we must consider how decisions will touch our immediate family and dearest friends. ·       And fourth and finally, ask yourself, “What’s my motive for making this decision?” Your motive should be honest, sincere, and ultimately, needs to glorify God. THE SPIRIT WILL NEVER LEAD US TO DO ANYTHING CONTRARY TO THE SCRIPTURE, HIS TRUTHS, OR PRINCIPLES!  What is the Father’s will according to the Scriptures? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6HEsegqLFY

Showing God to the World

by Dr. Paul Chappell

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.”
2 Corinthians 4:7–10

From the earliest records of human history, man has been making idols and images to worship. The false gods are merely an imitation of the real thing, a diversion designed by Satan to substitute for true worship. But their creation across so many cultures and centuries reveals a truth about the human heart—we have a longing to see something that is greater than we are. Even the most ardent atheist, no matter how much he tries to conceal, has this void of longing inside. God is real, and we need Him.
Because God is invisible, we cannot see Him. “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). Jesus was only present on the Earth for a few years, and while He was fully and completely God, He did not appear in glory and power except for brief moments. Instead, He revealed God to the world through His actions, His words, and His compassion and love for others. Today, it falls to us to show the world the true nature of God.
Annie Johnson Flint wrote:
We are the only Bible
The careless world will read;
We are the sinner’s gospel,
We are the scoffer’s creed;
We are the Lord’s last message,
Given in deed and word;
What if the type is crooked?
What if the print is blurred?
What if our hands are busy
With other work than His?
 

Today’s Growth Principle: 

It is our privilege and responsibility to show the world a true picture of what God is like.
