Eccl. 7:13 Notice the way God does things, then
fall into line. Don’t fight the ways of God, for who can straighten out what he
has made crooked?
Are you paying attention to the way God does
things? Think about it. God lovingly works to draw all men to
Him. He very clearly makes known the way
to Him that we might walk in it. He
makes a holy path for us to follow and demands that we walk on it. He aggressively sends forth workers into the
harvest field of the world to reach the lost for Him. He equips His children so that they can
effectively be witnesses for Him in the world.
He warns all about the consequences of sin and the reality of hell. He shows mercy and grace to all. He forgives all who sincerely repent of their
sins.
We are commanded to fall in line with what the
Lord is doing. We are to become like Him
in His nature and actions. We are not to
fight His ways but conform to them. We
are not to question His ways. The way in
which we can do these things is to live in close communion to Him. It is not easy and you will face much
oppositon, but it is far better to struggle while following the Lord than it is
to struggle because you are not following Him.
We must keep our souls in touch with God by
spending quality time in His Word. There is no shortcut on this. It takes determination and discipline to stay
in the Word and to learn from it. It
takes time. We must keep in touch with
the Lord through prayer. There is no
substitute for prayer. It is what we
must do consistently and deliberately.
It is an attitude we must live by.
We must be a people of prayer.
When we feed our souls with the Word and spend
time with the Lord in prayer, we must put feet to our faith and live it in the
world. We must be witnesses of our faith
both in deed and action. We must stop
fighting against God and start living in cooperation with Him. There is not many ways to live life and make
it to heaven. Jesus is the only way to
God and we must walk in it.
