We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. Colossians 1:9 -10
Growing up, I would often hear the people of God testify that I want to be found in the center of His will. As an adult, I have a great appreciation for this powerful desire for our lives. I imagine the center is to walk in the middle of God’s love, peace, joy and will for our lives. This is a safe place of clarity and vision for me. Here, my heart and mind are aligned with God’s purpose for me. Here, my words and my actions reflect His word. Here, I am focused on His will and not straying from Him.
Dwelling there takes building on my relationship with God through prayer, meditation and studying His word. Here, I am able to dwell in His presence and to walk boldly in the path that God has established for me. My desire is to stay in this place of strength and safety each day.
