Today’s Scripture: for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 ESV
Do we really grasp how God is working in us now? In Philippians 2:6 in the ESV it states “who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,” and in the KJV it stated “thought it not robbery to be equal with God:”
We may not grasp this concept but God is working in each of us. I am not sure we as a people or a church have grasped this since Jesus came to set the example for us.
Whether we grasp it or not, God works in us. We are called in this chapter to pour out what is working in us so others rejoice with us. More and more I meet people who have life experiences where God is surely working. Both the giver and the given are blessed when we pour out our experiences.
Are you pouring out what God is working in you?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, help me to grasp Your presence in me. Your kingdom come Your will be done today here on earth as in Heaven now. LORD I want to live as You live in me today. I cannot grasp Your wonders in my mind but I can give away what You are giving me. Teach me how to pour You out so others too may rejoice in You. Amen
