Rodney Howard Browne | Living According to God’s Will

Noah walked with God, even in a corrupt world. How did he do it? Part of the answer’s in Genesis 5:24. Noah’s great granddad, Enoch, walked with God. The lifestyle of Noah’s family gave the chance for him to stroll with God though none of his neighbors did.
Noah was taking a walk with God before he built the ark. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne explains that we learn how to walk with God by just following Him each day. We learn how to be prepared for the gigantic issues when we walk with God on the standard days. Then, when an enormous challenge comes along, we are walking by religion. Noah’s test of obedience came when God gave him unusual instructions – to build an ark and to bring 2 of each animal within. Thru all this, Noah continued his unswerving and successful walk with God. He kept his target the Lord’s plan, the Lord’s project, and the Lord’s direction.
When you and I walk with God, we learn how to hear Him and hear His voice.
Then it’s not relevant what other people say, so long as we think we know we’ve heard the Lord. Some of us have journeyed thru tricky places in our lives. But it is not where we walk that matters, but with whom. Anywhere we walk with God – regardless of how distressing it feels – is a place of serenity and safety. And remember, when we walk with God, we’ll never take an incorrect step. We’ll never regret a day. We’ll always be thankful for the present we made a decision to go alongside almighty God.

A preferred song drafted in the late 1960s talks about somebody thinking back over his life and proudly announcing that he probably did it his way.
5 times the unidentified person declares in a self-satisfied fashion that he managed life his very own way. The tune’s theme is the precise opposite of how God has called followers to live.
As Christ-followers, we are to submit to God’s plan and live according to it. How can we go about living God’s way? Give God our attention. We are to put aside our agendas and concentrate on our relationship with Him and what pleases Him. Receive God’s directions. Start by following the steps He has exposed for our situation. Being assured that God will answer, continue to ask what the successive steps are ( Proverbs 3:5,6 ). Act on divine command. This demands that we listen closely to God’s instructions.
Learning to hear Him is a basic lesson in the Christian life. If we don’t understand how to hear the Lord, how do we know when He has spoken? If we don’t know what He has claimed, then how will we obey? Accept what God provides as enough. God takes full responsibility for the life committed to Him and provides all that we need to obey. We are to act based mostly on this truth ( Philippians 4:13 ) even if our feelings say we have insufficient resources or abilities.
What do your decisions reveal: God’s way or your own? Commit to making the track of your life, “I did it God’s way.”.
