God's Will

The computer, internet sure can be a boom or a bane. To me, I still thank God for its usefulness. Missing church for the past two weeks, I decided to check on the church's website to see how far ahead the sermons are.(with the thought of pastor still doing the book of colossians) Last week sermon caught my attention and through a series of little events, I listened to the sermon.
Titled "How we should live" and spoken by bro chung howe. I am to an extend moved inside by what is spoken. Maybe its through God's word, the internet and bro chung howe that God has spoken to me.
James 4:13-17
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
I have been praying everyday inside of army, asking God for all the care, comfort and rest, even to the extend of asking Him to reveal His will to me. Yet, I must say I am not abiding by His will all the time.

One very good example will be on a cold I caught inside. I was given a chance to read God's word and happen to chance upon something Paul wrote about "For when I am weak, then I am strong." I fell sick the next day I woke up, for some reason or another, only went to see the medical officer the next day.
I was given two days of rest which ended on the day before a 6km route march (a must-do in order to progress to the next march). Knowing that missing such a march bears consequences like extra trainings, I do not want to miss it and I really thought I could go for it.
But God has other plans for me. For some safety and health reason, one of the commanders in charge of my platoon did not allow me to participate, despite me asking him repeated times. (To the extend where I have gotten everything ready in the morning just before the march -field pack, helmet and everything). The 'No' really just wipe the smile off my face.

Looking back now, I think me not going is God's will. I was given a chance to stay and chit-chat with some other that are also physically not well. My point is, my planning of how things should work out is never right.

To be in God's will means to act accordingly, not for God to show you and then ignore it and walk my own way. This is something I had learn.

Thats all for now, my confidence to be in His will, to submit and act accordingly, all for His glory and His alone. My prayer for the days ahead.
