Philippians 2:13-15 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
At times I forget that God is working in me. Too often I try to do His will my way but quickly learn that His “good pleasure” is more powerful.
We must be Spirit-filled if God is going to work His will and His power in us. Romans 8:9 .. . Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
God can use us for His glory when our lives are empty of murmurings, disputes, and complaints. If we doubt His promises and His Word, He will bring us to His will with love and grace when we let Him.
When we are blameless, harmless, and faultless Christians, we are in line with God's will and shine as lights in the darkness of this crooked and perverse world. How’s your light shining?
