God Working in Us

Hebrew 13:21  Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

God is able to work through anyone, even without their cooperation. But, to those that open up their heart and are filled with the Holy Spirit, God is able to do mighty things. When we surrender our life to God, He begins to do a work that is impossible for man to do. No amount of schooling or book reading can equip a person to love unconditionally. His love working in us does not always follow reason or logic. It will look beyond the surface and sees what is possible with the help of God. Start your day asking God to work in your life to make a difference, to show others the goodness of God. The works of the devil are destructive and self serving, God desires to work in us that which is pleasing. A work that will bring glory to the Father.

Be Patient

James 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Patiences is not one of my known virtues, especially if my waiting is caused by someone who is inconsiderate of my time. But not all circumstance that try our faith are caused by someone else. Life happens, and we are often face with having to ask for patience. There are somethings in life when no-one is at fault. God has ordained the testing of our faith. He wants us to look to Him and trust Him that He has everything under control. In this we rejoice, knowing that God has a plan. God desires that we seek Him for wisdom when we are faced with situations that test our faith. Patience to trust Him and hold steady and wait on God to take care of the problem. Lack of patience is an indication of instability and a faith that is weak. “Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” -v4
