UNDERSTAND

Ephesians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
   Choices are made by how we interpret our emotions at the moment. Example, buying groceries, more are purchased when you are hungry, a specific item is purchased when you have a craving, crises purchases are usually a waste of money. What will regulate our impulse reactions, I am so glad you asked?
   We use the same choice criteria when worshiping God, that should not be the case, but it is. From our first days we are trained to respond to our senses, those same senses God says betray us. Read Proverbs 3:5-6 (Trust). The obvious conclusion is to be wise about our selves, we are opportunists seeking to satisfy selfish cravings.
    God will not be understood by impulse behavior, He must be reckoned with by the deliberate action of putting me away and putting Him first. To trust Jesus, I must first deny me, I must then confess my sin, repent (turn away from my sin) and allow Him to have the first and only, place in my life. "Understand what the will of the Lord is!"
Heavenly Father may our love for You expose who we are to us. Let us carefully examine our motives and trust You with every thing. May all we do, be with a view of You, and may nothing interfere with what You want to do in us.
