God Attribute, 18

 

~ Desires ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  Throughout the Word of God the desires of God are made clear.  God has desires for all of mankind, for His children, and for each individual. 

 

Scripture  ~  “Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.  Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained.  He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:29-31). 

 

“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.  And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God” (Ephesians 5:15-21).

 

Comment  ~  The author of this blog has an eBook available entitled “GOD’S DESIRE: How To Please God” (https://books2read.com/GodsDesire).  It is widely available wherever eBooks are sold.  An earlier paperback book with much of the same material is also available from Amazon: “THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH: Understanding God’s Will for You” (https://www.amazon.com/Thy-Will-Be-Done-Earth/dp/1606474308).
