Rodney Howard Browne | God’s Word is the Truth

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.”.
