Your way or Gods way?
The Psalmist states,
"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:4,5.
This is good advice. Advice many people do not listen to. As someone has said,
“Most people wish to serve God —
but only in an advisory capacity.”

I would say that the majority of people in the world today want to get to heaven. But sadly they want to do it there way.
As believers in Christ Jesus we need to pray and study the scriptures. We need to take time to learn just what God wants for our life. And how He wants us to accomplish that goal.
We need to learn the way God works. For it is only in doing things God’s way that we will get to heaven.
In the book of Hebrews we read,
“So, as the Holy Spirit says:" Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.” Hebrews 3:7-11.
Where do you stand? Are you willing humble yourself before God. Study the scriptures and see how God does things or do you insist on following your own path.
When you are considering this remember what we read in Proverbs.
“There is a way that seems right ot a man,
but its end is the way of death.”
Proverbs 14:12.
Please think about it.
