NOT MY WILL BUT THY WILL BE DONE  

            There is but one question, and that is the will of God.  That settles all other questions. --William E. Gladstone

James 4:14-15, Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

            Friend, we do not know what tomorrow holds for us. It could be filled with joy or devastated by death. Whatever tomorrow holds, it will not surprise the Lord. Whatever you are going through right now, God knew about it long before you did! He was preparing you for the trial. He is preparing you for the next trial as well! We may not like the trial. We may not enjoy the trial. It is only our responsibility to give thanks in everything that comes into our lives.

            So, this morning, take some advice from a great man of God, Dr. David Gibbs; “Finish this life in the Will of God, with the joy of the Lord in your heart.”
