Thanking God for his provision

TO DO THY WILL OH LORD! Psalms 143:10 –"Teach me to do your will, for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.(verse 10). The will of God deserves the highest level of commitment on earth. As a Christian, your commitment to Gods will should be greater than your commitment to your official work or anything else. This is because your primary assignment on earth is to be committed and dedicated to doing the will of God. >BACKGROUND OF THIS PSALM 143 This psalm is one of the peni-ten-tial psalms.(Penitential -means expressing deep sorrow and regrets at something wrongfully done). The psalm, as those before, is a prayer of David, and full of complaints of the great distress and danger he was in, probably when Saul persecuted him. He did not only pray in that affliction, but he prayed very much and very often,trusting God for supply of grace to do his will. Charles . H. Spurgeon a great Bible commentator & reformer ,describes this psalm as ‘a box of ointment composed of divers ingredients, sweet and bitter, pungent and precious’. WHAT IS THE WILL OF GOD? 1)The will of God is His mindset over a thing. 2)The will of God is his sovereign control of all that comes to pass. Matthew 26 :39 “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” Isaiah 53:10"Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;he has put him to grief;when his soul makes an offering for guilt,he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 3)The will of God could be refered to as the sovereign plan of God that will happen in the coming hours.Acts 4:27-28"in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.”(This was predicted before it happened ) 4)The will of God is to stand for the truth regardless the storm. 1pèter 3:17" For it is " better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil. Genesis 39:11-13" And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 39:12" And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 39:13" And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, Genesis 39:20" And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 5)The will of God is to do His command. Matthew 7:21"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven". SIX SPECIFIC COMMANDS OF JESUS 1)Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand .Matthew 4:17" 2)Practice secret disciplines (giving, praying, fasting)—Matthew 6:1-18. 3)Lay up treasures in heaven—Matthew 6:19-21. 4)Seek first the kingdom of God—Matthew 6:33. 5)Judge not—Matthew 7:1-2. 6)Let not your heart be troubled (don’t worry)—John 14:27, John 16:33,Matthew 6:25-26, Philippians 4:6-73. 6)The will of God is Complete abstaince from immoral live style Thessalonians 4:3" this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; To be cont.....
