"NOT MY WILL"

For so many years I did what I wanted and for so many years I was on the wrong track. I lived the life I wanted to, I said what I wanted, I picked the career I wanted and I never thought about the fact that there was already a plan for my life made and written out long before I even was formed in my mother's womb. What is so amazing about life is the fact that we have choices and that we can live our lives by our own free will. After years of mistakes, missed opportunities, and disappointment, I woke up one day and said there has to be more. All of those years, I hadn't intended to make mistakes, but, finally I began to see that free will doesn't mean doing your will but, it means choosing whose will you will follow. Will you be a free agent or will you join a team? At that point, I chose a team...TEAM JESUS!!! With this team, came a contract( the gift of salavation),there is longevity in this team (eternity), I have a great defense (The Holy Spirit), My play book cannot be beat (The Word of God); which I study everyday and all I have to do is catch the ball and run with it. My coach is the King of Kings. I now can accept the physical responsibility but, I know I'm covered because, he knows all the players in my life. I go by his rules, I lay down my will for his will and his intended  purpose for mylife. Let us put down our will for His. Lord, today we ask that you remind us that when we are in your will, we are playing by the rules and we can't go wrong.
