There is a whole lot of, “I will,” going on in our world as of late.

My will (I will); not God’s will, is a dangerous thing. Presumptuous are they that speak such things.

Presumption means: overconfident, audacious, willful, foolhardy, rash, arrogant and insolent. An example here: a presumptuous commander, whom age has not made cautious, nor adversity wise.

The words in Isaiah now, chapter 14 verses 12 through 14.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart I WILL ascend into heaven, I WILL exalt my throne above the stars of God: I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL be like the most High.

The adversary of God, which is Satan (our adversary also, as Believers); spoke these things in his heart. Always, BEWARE, of the I WILL.

Things are happening in our world today, that we should not ignore. It does not take a rocket scientist, to figure out something is amiss. Clearly things are not what they appear to be.

So … “let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” I Thess. 5:8-11

As Believers, let us be busy about walking in the light of Christ and keeping our minds on the hope of our salvation.

In all things, let us “walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore, be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” Eph. 5:15-17

The only way to know God’s will, is to make sure we stay in fellowship with Him: by abiding in Christ, knowing what God’s Word says, always seeking the Lord’s wisdom and direction through prayer, and above all by submitting ourselves unto Him.

King David prayed, “Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.” Ps. 19:13

Let us, just like King David, keep this prayer in our hearts.
