Devotional
Similarly, the will of God is supreme and absolute (Psm 33:11). What we may feel or think about a thing, if it’s not the will of God for our life, it will never be the will of God. The will of God is what God has ordained for us to become, it’s not what we like or what we feel to become. This is why many people are living in error. And they are so poised about it. When it’s raised, they would point to the Eccl 9:10, “Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might…” So, they would motivationally continue to toil and toil in vain. However, let’s not forget the counsel of Proverbs 19:21; it says,
Key Scripture
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.Proverbs 19:21 NIV
Refreshing for the Day
So, when we carefully learn about the word “whatever” in Ecclesiastes 9:10, we will find it is consonant and agreeable to “the purpose of God” in Proverbs 19:21. Therefore, it insistently means “whatever we must do must be in accordance with the will of God”. So, beloved, let’s be guided. Do not go on and continue to engage yourself over what you feel or what you like, but rather seek to know what the will of God for your life is and commit to it. We will continue tomorrow, but till then, Stay Refreshed!
Note This
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations. (Psm 33:11)
Responsibility
So, seek to know the counsel of the Lord for your life, than employing trial and error approach lifestyle.
