The Desires of God

Can two walk together unless they are agreed? - Amos 3:3 (NKJV)

One of the main problems we have when it comes to fellowshiping with anyone, is when our desires seem to clash or come against each other. One of us desires to go right, while the other desires to go left. It doesn�t matter how hard you hold on to each other�s hands. For as long as both of you are headed in opposite directions you will inevitably end up being separated from each other.

The same thing happens in our relationship with God. If we don�t really care to understand what it is that He desires�then there will always be a strong chance of us breaking up with Him. We must understand that our relationship with God will only work out if we spend some time to know more about His will and His ways. When we do, then we can learn to find our place in the plans of God.

�...these are evil times. So don�t be foolish with your lives. But learn what the Lord wants you to do.� - Ephesians 5:16- 17 (East-To-Read-Version)

Here are a few of God�s desires to think about:

That all may know and acknowledge Him.

�For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.� - Habakkuk 2:14

That all may follow Him to life eternal. Him.

�The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.� - 2 Peter 3:9

�For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord, Repent and live!� - Ezekiel 18:32

That all may know that it is He who loved us first in a hope that we may learn to love Him back.

�Dear friends, since God loved us, we also ought to love one another.� - 1 John 4:11

�Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.� - Leviticus 19:18
