“God is Working in You”

“God is Working in You”



Today's Verse:
 “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” - Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

In the life of every believer, God is at work. He is working to mold us into His image and to give us the power to walk in obedience to Him. Too often we think it is about discipline, effort, and doing our best. There are times when we feel like nothing is happening spiritually. We feel like we will never gain that maturity in Christ that we desire. Sometimes it feels like we have done all we can do. The wonderful news is that God is at work in us.

Every good and godly desire we have comes from God. He is the source of all our power, strength, and desire. He is working in us to bring about what pleases Him.

God began the work by drawing you to Himself. Then you gave your heart to Christ, and The His Holy Spirit came to dwell within you. Now, day-by-day, He is working within you to give you the desire to follow Him. He also gives you the power to live an obedient life.

As you pray today, pray that you would remember that God is working in you. Pray and be encouraged knowing that God is giving you the desire and the power to live a life that pleases God.

Sample Prayer:

Father, I remind myself that today You are working in me. I declare that I am being encouraged knowing that you are not only giving me the desire to serve You, but the ability and power to do so as well. Thank You that You are working in me to make me into the person You want me to be.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
