January 8 – DOING RIGHT

I will make my word a part of their innermost being, writing it on their hearts, being their God, and them becoming my people. (Jeremiah 31:33)

                Do you ever hesitate to act because your worry overcomes your ambition? How often do you fear making a mistake, even as you act?

                When God spoke this promise through Jeremiah, He was talking about today. As a follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit of God lives in you and works in you to do God’s will for your life. Jesus later promised that, “your Father will give good gifts (the Holy Spirit) to those who ask” (Matthew 7:11). God knows how you feel. He knows everything. He has lived in this world as a man. He lives today in your spirit if you are a follower. He calls you to trust that He loves you, and He wants the best for you.

                When you need guidance, counsel, affirmation of God’s wishes for your life, don’t worry – just ask!
