Event: Paul Journeys to Jerusalem
S – Scripture
Acts 21 v. 14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, "The will of the Lord be done."
O – Observation
Thy will be done. We need to recognize God's will and follow it. Paul's friends begged him not to go to Jerusalem, but in the end Paul recognized that it’s His (God's) will, so he followed it. Do you realize that we pray for this every time we say the Lord’s prayer? Matthew 6 v. 9-10, "Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed by the name. Thy Kingdom come, THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in Heaven." What is God's will for us? After all, Jeremiah 29 v 11a, "For I know the plans I have for you." His plans may not be your plans. He may want you to be in various positions in life. But this much is true regardless of where you are, the will of God is this for us. Romans 12 v. 1b, "Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."
A - Application
Am I following God's will for my life?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Thy will be done. Love Will.
