Do You Want to Know God’s Will?
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”
John 15:7

Ponder This
Do you want to know the will of God for your life? Here’s a test: how much time do you spend reading the Bible? Do you think God really believes we want to know His will when we don’t take even 15 minutes a day to read the one Book above all books that God has specifically written to show, reveal, and unfold His will?
Your first step in knowing His will is the surrender principle—surrendering your will to His. Your second step is the scripture principle. Read His Word, meditate upon it, share it, and study it. When you bow to His will and read His will, you will know His will.
Practice This
Commit to reading God’s Word at least 15 minutes a day for 30 days. When the month is over, reevaluate what you have learned and ask God to help you be obedient to daily Bible reading from this day forward.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
