Reflections in Nehemiah: The Right Words to Say
…when God sends us, when we are walking in His will, He will give us the words we need to say.
…when God sends us, when we are walking in His will, He will give us the words we need to say.
We CAN overcome sin by continually submitting our will to God’s authority, by studying, memorizing and frequently contemplating God’s Word, so that it can transform us by replacing our human desires with Godly desires. Then God’s will and God’s plan will consummate in us to produce righteousness to the Glory of God.
If we are ever to live victorious Christian lives, we must first seriously seek to live obedient sacrificial lives. It’s not more ‘churching’, it’s not louder singing, it’s not even better preaching that’s going to transform us. We will be transformed when we “offer ourselves as living sacrifices” to God (Romans 12:1-2). When we sacrifice our will to live in obedience to His will.
Rather than making God’s Word subject to our desires, we should subject our desires to God’s Word.
“This parable also shows us that it’s not how we start that matters, it’s how we finish.”
