“for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13 (NASB)
An important lesson we should always keep in our minds is that we do not live our Christian lives by ourselves or in our own ability. When we become Children of God by accepting Jesus as our Savior we do open ourselves for God to work in us. It is so good to realize that God does have wonderful plans for us for the time we live here on earth and also for eternity. God is working in each of our lives today and the promise in our verse is a confirmation and reminder that He wants us to desire to follow His plan. He wants us to be willing and available to be used by Him for the work He has for us. This work brings God pleasure and it brings us joy and peace also. Yes, God wants to use us for His glory and for the good that He brings to us. This is the purpose He had in creating human kind. Today, let's be open to allowing God do His will and good work through us.
