Today’s Thought “Best Doxology” G. Ward

1 John 5

¹⁴ This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

 

When a believer’s love for the perfect directives from the holy script (i.e., God’s Word) exists, through an insistence to do what HE says, confidence of HIS regard anticipates an answer; not according to one’s own limited knowledge, particularly instrumental of his prior woes, but that to which guarantees a best example of love that grants a peaceable life in a strange land. We cannot persist in dictating to God’s Supremacy what should be done in earth, to ever contemplate it shall be (cf. Isa.55:8-9), nor can declarations from mere men definitively confirm the mind of Holy God. Moreover, a persistence in ending our prayers with “In Jesus Name” really translates, according to HIS will. Are you satisfied with that?
