From the Pastor's Desk:
Like most of you, during our vacation travels, Jean and I have stopped at numerous "Visitor's Centers" and "Rest Stops" scattered along our interstates and roadways. The first thing I always look at is the huge map inside the door which always has the "YOU ARE HERE" sign on it. I enjoy looking at where we have been and where we are going.
A question we all have to answer everyday is: "Where am I at with the Lord?" God wants us to be in the right place with Him. That means being in His will. God has a perfect will for every believer. It is our duty to seek and find His will, and then be walking in it. First of all, God's "general will" is for us to be living according to His commands and statutes. We are to be doing what God says to do and not doing what He says don't do. Secondly, we are to be living in His specific will for our personal life. That is where the Holy Spirit comes into play. We must rely on the strength and power of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us to follow God's specific will.
So ... where are you with the Lord this morning?
