How God Wants You To Do Things

Phil 1:12-14
¹² I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. ¹³ I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. ¹⁴ But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.


While Paul is in prison, we was speaking here of a brother named Onesimus. The rhema here is not what Paul was asking, but how he went about doing it, the method behind the action. He asked for blessings for his request, but he may be granted favor in doing this. Through this, the spirit of the people may not be divided, but will be as one.

A lot of times we have to ask ourselves not what we are doing, but is it the right way of doing things. So many times I find myself questioning my methods of how I am doing things, and I continue to seek wisdom from the Lord. I ask myself if this is not just what God wants for me, but in his plan, is it the method that He wants it done in.

Father God, I thank you so much for who you are. You are so great. You are magnificent, and glorious, and I thank you for the grace that you have given to me. I pray for your words, that you may speak into my spirit and that You may allow this to change me, Lord. I ask that you give me wisdom when i do all things, that it may be pleasing in what I do, but also in how I do it. I want to give you all the glory. I thank you again, and I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
