NUMBERS 22:21-41
TOPIC:
PERFECT VERSUS PERMISSIVE WILL
Life
is full of mysteries that we cannot fully fathom. Deuteronomy 29:29 says that
the secret things belong to the Lord but the things revealed belong to us.
The
perfect will of the Lord has been substituted many times with the permissive
will which stems from our hearts' willingness to satisfy our own desires over
and above the plans of God. God sometimes allows us to do what we want not
necessarily because He is happy but because we have forced our way through.
Balaam
knew that God was not in the business that he was going into, but he still
undertook the journey. No wonder, God wanted to end his life but for the
intervention of the donkey.
There
is an urgent need for us to reconsider our lives to see the number of times we
have pushed through our own desires even when God was against what we were
doing. We must turn back and seek to do His perfect will and not His permissive
will.
QUESTION: Have
you ever insisted on doing the things that you know are against the will of
God?
PRAYER: Forgive
me, dear Lord, for always insisting on having my way even when that is against
Your will. Help me align to Your perfect will for my life from now henceforth,
in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
