God has a perfect will, and His will is perfect for EVERYONE!!  When I was praying this morning, this thought came to me and gave me reason for rejoicing!!

No one is left out.  He is no respecter of persons.  (Acts 10:34--"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said , Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons." )  He does not have a perfect will for one person to the detriment of the other. He does not have a perfect will for one person and not for another.  He has a perfect will.  It is good for you and for all around you.  It is a win-win situation.

The Bible tells us how to find God's perfect will.  Romans 2:2 says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. "  Do not conform ("act in accordance or harmony; comply. . . , act in accord with the prevailing standards, attitudes, practices . . , be or become similar in form, nature, or character" or "be in harmony or accord") to the world.  Instead, be transformed ("undergo a change in form, appearance, or character") by renewing your mind.  (Definitions are from dictionary.com.)

My will and yours are not perfect.  God's is.  Ask God for His perfect will to be done in your life and those around you.  When God's will is done, He is like a Marine:  He does not leave anyone behind.  His will is perfect!!  I am grateful!



P.S.  For extra thought about renewing your mind, read Philippians 2:1-5. It says, "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus".  Sounds like when our minds are renewed to be like Christ's mind, we will put others before ourselves and serve the kingdom of God. 

You might also go to crosswalk.com and search "will of God" and read what the Word says about it.  It has a lot to say.  I searche the King James Version for this search.  It is powerful!
