Today’s Scripture: For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 KJV
Do you have it in you to do what is right? Have you failed over and over?
In Celebrating Recovery, this verse is the basis of Step 2 in the 12 step process. “We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” Are you there yet? Do you believe that there is a God who can work in you so you desire what pleases Him? Do you believe He will give you the power to do His will?
Paul tells us to pour out our lives as a sacrifice to God. As we pour out our lives for Him, it is God who will fill us back up with His desires, His will, and His purpose. Breathe out me and breathe in Christ. Fill me Lord Jesus. Restore me and give me Your desires and Your power!
His is restoring us and filling us to desire what He desires and have His power to complete them.
Do you have hope and confidence knowing it is God who will complete His will in you?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, You are the God of all power and purpose. I pour out my life as an offering to You. Thank You for Your will and Your power that You are working in me. Replace my will with Yours. I believe Your power is at work in me. Receive my life and fill me with Yours. Amen
