Law of Obedience
..Let us run with endurance the race that is marked out for us. [Heb 12:1]
In life, most people want to accomplish something, but with varied motivations. It could be any one of the following, which advocates the philosophy of the world:
1. I want to do something – a lack of clarity
2. I want to do what I can do – limiting oneself, dutiful
3. I have to do it, because everyone else is doing it – pressurising oneself
4. I have to do something that no one else has done – being unique
5. It is my life. I can do whatever I want with it – wilful arrogance
But laying aside all of the above, scripturally what needs to be done, is the will of God, which will take you to a higher ground, and to something greater that God has prepared for you

God Plan
அவர்
சகலத்தையும் அதினதின் காலத்திலே நேர்த்தியாகச் செய்திருக்கிறார்;
உலகத்தையும் அவர்கள் உள்ளத்திலே வைத்திருக்கிறார்; ஆதலால் தேவன் ஆதிமுதல்
அந்தம்மட்டும் செய்துவரும் கிரியையை மனுஷன் கண்டுபிடியான்.
பிரசங்கி 3:11

THE FIERY TONGUE
In ancient times, fire was lit by rubbing two stones.
In modern times, after match sticks and lighters were found, we use them to ignite the fire. Though they produce a small quantity of fire that lasts only for few seconds, they are more than enough to burn down a forest to ashes.
Fires are the accidents which occur most frequently. It very dangerous and that is why fire engines are kept in the roads, and fire extinguishers in the premises.
The small organ in our body named the tongue can also act like a fire. Though small, when it hurts, it causes a deadly effect. Yes! Tongue earns for you a good or a bad name. Therefore be careful when you use it.
Why do you use fire? You use it for cooking and for good purposes. You don't use it to destroy other. Do you? Likewise, use this tongue to speak only good works. It will make people appreciate you.
“Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble."(Proverbs 21:23).

GOD OUR AID!
Dear Friend, temptations are there out in the world everywhere. Most of
the times lot of us get tired and frustrated by those temptations and
struggles of life. The Scriptures reads like this in Romans 5:5, "Hope
does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into
our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Yes, we
have a hope in Jesus Christ. When the Spirit of God comes, He fill us
with His immense love that we begin to develop a hatred towards the sin
and become free in Jesus Christ. Therefore we are no longer slaves to
sin.
In the first year of my college days, I had no real relationship with Christ. But my life was transformed by the Lord Almighty, at the end of first year holidays. From then on, I began experiencing the Lord in a very intimated manner. When the days neared for the reopening of the college for the next academic year, I cried to the Lord praying, 'Lord I submit my life into Your hands, I have to meet the same friends in the college. They will want to indulge me in all the past sinful activities. But Lord, I ask of Your grace to help me overcome all the temptations and from the lust of the eyes. Lord, help me to live before them as Your child.' Likewise,the Spirit of the Lord, descended on me and filled me with His Holy Spirit.
Even as I was riding the bicycle to my college, there where many temptations and lustful attacks that came by my way. And every time I cried out to the Lord, my Saviour came to my aid and the Holy Spirit filled me in a glorious way. The Spirit of God would whisper, "Paul, Your are not of the world, You belong to me." I was filled with the Spirit of Love. As, Mark 12:30 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." This love of God that is poured in us, takes away the sin in us. Yes, In the very same college the Lord enabled me to live a holy life and helped me come out with flying colors.
Friend, yes, being in a set up like school, college and work place you may have to face lot of temptations on a day today basis. You might be pushed into the situations where you will be bribed and even you need to bribe someone. But remember, there is the Spirit of God to help You in situations like this. He will come to your aid when you call in desperate moment and help you overcome those struggles victoriously. Remember, the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). When you try to fight these struggles on your own, you loose the battle because of our incapabilities. But the Bible says, "The Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Romans 8:26. Therefore, seek His aid and become victorious. You are more than conqueror in Him.

All My plans will be fulfilled for I know the end from the beginning
Isaiah 46:9-10
9 Remember the
former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there
is none like me; 10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient
times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will
do all my pleasure;
All My plans will be fulfilled for I know the end from the beginning.
Our Elder Brother is known as the Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end. The Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit have always been and always will be. In today's promise, we read from Isaiah 46:10 that God knows the end from the beginning and all His plans will be fulfilled.
Many times in life, I feel like I can only see a few short steps ahead but it gives me such great comfort to know that my God and Father knows the end from the beginning. In Psalm 139:16 King David makes this declaration about God... Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them. (WEB)
God has a plan for your life. He knit you together in your mother's womb and ordained every one of your days, writing them in His special book before one of them ever came to be. We can rest in our God and Father's goodness to watch over us and fulfill the plans He has for us. For He is a good Dad and He knows the end from the beginning.
