During the US civil war Abraham Lincoln met with a group of ministers for a prayer breakfast. Lincoln was a man of deep, if at times unorthodox, faith. At one point one of the ministers said, "Mr. President, let us pray that God is on our side". Lincoln’s response showed far greater insight, "No, gentlemen, let us pray that we are on God’s side."
If we want to know what God wants us to do, then we must first strive to live a life of conformity to Him. It is the thought life of doing what I want and asking God to "bless it" that has put us in a place that leaves us not knowing that He is displeased by our way of life.
If you are a Christian - a Christ follower - Live life with His will in mind today!
