Back To Basics
by Mata Elliott

    Have you ever asked God what is His will for your life? Just as sure as this is a commom prayer among believers, we can be sure God's answer to each of us is different. And yet while there is an individual plan for every life, there are basics from God's Word that are the same for every believer.

    God wants us to give thanks. "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of             God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (I Thessalonians 5:18, KJV)

    God wants us to pray daily. "Pray without ceasing." (I Thessalonians 5:17,
    KJV)

    God want us to love. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as             I have loved you." (John 15:12, KJV)

    God wants us to forgive. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving             one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians                 4:32, KJV)

   God wants us to depend on Him. " . . . for without me ye can do nothing."                (John 15:5b, KJV)

    Today, perhaps you are searching for God's will. As we seek Him for direction concerning our next life-steps, may we also remember the basics detailed above, as this too is God's will for me and you.
