In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success. Proverbs 3:6
Our CR Men’s “Journey Continues” 12-step group is studying and applying Principle 3/Step 3 through the month of December (Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control).
To be honest, I have certainly struggled at times with knowing what God’s will is for my life or for a particular circumstance in my life, my guess is I’m not alone. We may know what God’s will is for some areas of our life, but God is asking for us to seek his will in all areas of our life. That’s a big responsibility that requires daily surrender and daily action to fulfill.
Here are a few action steps we are putting into practice to daily turn our will over to God’s care and control.
-Ask for God’s will to be done. Luke 22:42
-Choose to follow his will over our own. Proverbs 3:5-6
-Trust that he has a plan for us. Jeremiah 29:11
-Invest in others by serving. Galatians 5:13
-Obey God’s word. James 1:22
-Be open to new areas in our life that need to be turned over to God. John 10:10
This daily action plan is a tall order, a difficult one that we can’t do without prayer. Here is a great prayer from CR: “Heavenly Father, please give me the power to choose Your will over my own. Please reveal Your will to me every day. Please show me through Your Word, through other people, and by answering my prayers. I ask for Your love and wisdom and guidance. Amen.”
Love God, love people, Jesus first!
