Philippians 2:13, "God is
working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what
pleases Him" (NLT).
I believe that far too many Christians limit God to "something"
that they experienced in a previous encounter with Him. They
only have Him active in their memories rather than being an
active agent of daily change in their lives. But I feel the need
to declare to you today that God is at work in you at this
present moment. We are to EXPERIENCE GOD and not just talk about
an "experience" with God. God is more than just some moment or a
group of moments in our yesterdays. God is alive and powerful at
this very moment and according to the words of Paul, "God is
working in you." Isn't that an exciting revelation to
understand? I can believe and receive the ongoing presence of
the Lord God Almighty at work in my walk with Him. The
revelation of truth gives me the courage and strength to
continue this journey; I can realize that God is performing His
work in my heart and that His work in me is what is providing
the power and direction to do what is right. The revelation of
truth releases me from the pressure of feeling that I am alone
and that it is up to me to fulfill the plan of God in my life.
My responsibility becomes one of obedience and surrender to "His
working" in my life. He will provide the power and unction that
I need if I willingly offer my life to Him in sacrificial
surrender.
Take some time day and offer yourself to God and let Him know
that you accept His work in your life. He will finish what He
started if we provide Him a surrendered heart and life. We may
be surprised by what He would do in us if we would submit to His
plan and purpose for our lives.
