It will provide us with the peace that surpasses all understanding Philippians 4: 6-7
It is powerful and effective James 5:16
It builds the body of Christ Ephesians 6: 18
It allows the Spirit to intercede for us with God Romans 8:26
It purifies us 1John 1: 9
It is His will for you 1Thessalonians 5:17
It is His will for you beloved. That alone should be reason enough but God promises so much more. Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us lastly, that if we call to Him, He will answer us. He is faithful even when we are faithless (2Timothy 2:13). He knows everything and we are but a fleeting moment as James reminds us:
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4: 14 (KJV)
How true. We do not know where we will be tomorrow. We may have a pretty good idea. Maybe at work, maybe at school. At least that is where we are supposed to be but only God knows where we will be. Like the rich fool learned (Luke 12); tomorrow is promised to no man. The only way to not worry about tomorrow is to be right with God today; so He can cover your sins from yesterday.
What is God speaking to your heart today? Have you had the familiar tendency to think that you know best in all situations? Have you excluded God from your decision making processes until those decisions land you in trouble? Do you want to understand the great things in your life today? Do you wish to go beyond mortal comprehension and be shown the unsearchable things of God? Do you desire that next level with Him? Call to Him today and He will be faithful to answer you.
Amen.
