Good Morning Friends,
“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always
obeyed -- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence -- continue
to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in
you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Philippians 2:12-13)
The willingness to obey is our responsibility.
The power to obey comes from God. What grace!
God asks us to obey and then provides what we
need to be able to do it. He never leaves us without what we need to do what He
asks.
Peter declared, “His divine power has given us everything
we need for life and godliness.” (2 Peter 1:3)
The other amazing truth that stands out for me
in these verses is that God has a purpose for us. He is working in us to
accomplish His purpose. It is amazing that the Almighty God of creation has a
use for us! He desires to use us to accomplish what He wants done.
What more marvelous reason for living could
there possibly be than that God wants to use us for His purposes!
Dwell on this today: God has given you everything you need to do
what He desires and He does desire to use you!
His, by Grace,
Steve
