JJ Tomlin

Today, JJ Tomlin dives into aligning our will with God's desires and emphasizes wisdom's role in daily decisions, especially in relationships.

Introduction

Hey HOD family, we’re back with another thought-provoking episode, Today, JJ dives deep into understanding how we can align our desires with God's will, especially in our romantic relationships. This episode is rich with scripture, wisdom, and practical advice, making it essential listening for anyone looking to navigate love with divine guidance. Let's jump in!

Aligning Our Will with God’s Desires

JJ started by emphasizing the importance of aligning our will with God's desires, not just following our natural inclinations. He illustrated this with practical examples like resisting natural anger through biblical principles. This transformation helps us see our emotions through God’s lens, which is crucial for making sound relationship decisions.

The Three Components of God's Will

Understanding God’s will involves three key components: sovereign will, moral will, and wisdom. Sovereign will covers God's ultimate control over everything, moral will encompasses scripture-based behaviors, and wisdom guides our everyday decisions. JJ stressed that understanding these facets can profoundly impact our love lives.

The Role of Wisdom in Relationships

Wisdom plays a crucial role in aligning our decisions with God's plan. JJ emphasized the importance of seeking wisdom and making choices that fit within God’s moral will and sovereign plan. This approach helps us reject the notion of forcing God’s will and instead focuses on making informed, wise decisions.

Forcing God's Will: A Theological Perspective

JJ posed interesting questions about whether we can force God's will, using biblical examples like Ruth and Boaz. He distinguished between free will and God’s sovereign plan, reassuring us that even our mistakes fall within God's ultimate control. This perspective is comforting, especially when we worry about messing up God’s plan in our relationships.

Free Will, Mistakes, and Sin

JJ explored the difference between mistakes and sin, questioning the term "moral failure" for biblical figures like David and Samson. He contrasted the grace they received with the judgment faced by leaders today, reminding us that God's grace covers our perpetual decision-making processes, both good and bad.

Decision-Making and God's Sovereign Plan

JJ also discussed the interplay between daily choices and God’s sovereign plan, tackling topics like finding a spouse and making seemingly trivial decisions. He emphasized starting with scripture as a guide while trusting that even small decisions are under God’s care.

Conclusion: Trust and Seek Wisdom

JJ concluded with a reminder to trust God’s plan and continually seek wisdom rather than trying to force divine plans. Whether dealing with minor decisions or major relational commitments, aligning with God’s desires through wisdom will always serve us best. 

So HOD fam, as you go through your daily lives and relationship journeys, remember to focus on wisdom, trust in God’s sovereign plan, and align your desires with His will. Until next time, stay blessed!
