We want to live in God's will.  Of course we do. 


Let's start with the easiest thing the Bible tells us to do if we want to live a Godly way of life.

I Thessalonians 5 tells us to do these things:
16  Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s  will for you in Christ Jesus.

Rejoice when things look great.  Or bleak. 
Pray continually:  God do you want me to do this?  Or that?   
Give thanks in all circumstances.  That means when things look great.  Or bleak.  When God wants you to do this.  Or that. 

The devil only has a few tools to work against us.  The reason for that is that the few tools he has work great.  He doesn't need any more than that.


The enemy of our souls wants us to worry.  He wants us to fret.  Notice the difference between living in God's will and the way our enemy wants us to live.

It's impossible to rejoice and worry at the same time.
We cannot pray continually when we're caught in the mire of fretting.
No one can give thanks and be afraid continuously.  It cannot be done.

So.... the question here probably doesn't need to be asked, but... I will anyway.

Which one do you want to follow?  Let's review.

God's way:  rejoice.  pray.  give thanks.  be in God's will.
The enemy's way:  worry.  fret.   worry some more.

Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it?  

Rejoice always.   Even when you would rather moan and groan.
Pray.  God knows what's best.  Ask Him.
Give thanks.  When it looks like the enemy is winning, give thanks because God will ultimately win.  He always does (read the book, it's all in there.)
Be in God's will.  

That's it in a nutshell. 

To my precious family.     My wonderful friends.  Those who just happened to stumble upon this today.  Be of good cheer.

God is on your side.
