JESUS IS THE KEY (February 17th)
An apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus.
2 TIMOTHY 1:1
Jesus is the ultimate key to knowing and living out God’s will. He is your example of the life of faith in every way (Romans 8:29), and He provides you with access to the throne of grace so you can learn His plan (Hebrews 4:16). His Holy Spirit guides you (John 16:13–14), His prayers empower you (Hebrews 7:25), and His Word provides a light to your path (Psalm 119:105).
I say this because many people believe that God’s will is about living by religious or moral rules. At the most basic level, it is—but it is really much more than that. It is about a profound, intimate relationship with God Himself—a relationship that results in a life that overflows with His wisdom, purpose, and power.
The Father has created you with a reason in mind, to fulfill an important role in His kingdom. And it is in Jesus, as a person who is saved by Him, and through Jesus, as His disciple who is in fellowship with Him, that you discover, understand, and walk in His purposes.
Jesus, You are God’s will personified. I fix my eyes on You and know You will lead me in the center of His will. Amen.
