Four letter words.

There are a lot of four letter words in the world that don't edify but the opposite is true in the Bible.
What of the four letter word "will"?
Many,many versus tell us that if we do thus and so the Lord will do thus and so.
Mar 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Here is a verse that puts the "will" on us. We have to will to deny ourselves. It cant be a casual will but a determined obstinate will. Here is the dictionary definition of obstinate,firmly or stubbornly adhering to one's purpose, opinion, etc.; not yielding to
Argument, persuasion, or entreaty. 2. Characterized by inflexible persistence . I am quite sure that when the Bible uses the word will that is what it has in mind.

When we look at all the "wills" that it promises the Lord will do there is no variation, no wavering nothing that will prevent His will from happening, if we trust and obey the word.

Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father willl also forgive you:

Pretty plain. Pretty concise.

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Our responsibility, His promise.

Mat 19:19 Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. How do we accomplish that? We have to "will" to obey. Not an easy thing to do but we are commanded to do it so it must be possible to do.

We have often heard that self will is bad, but in the context of what the Bible says I have to be sure my will, my self will is stubbornly fixed on the word and to keep my will in line with the Fathers will. That's what Jesus did. Not my will but thine be done.

What will we do?
