TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"...work out your own salvation..." (Philippians 2:12, NKJ).
TODAY'S WORD
, when you make Jesus the Lord of your life, some things will change in you immediately and other things will be worked out over time. You may have addictions or sickness that you are instantly freed from, but yet, you may have wrong attitudes or other areas that are still in the process of changing. That's because God is doing both a work in you and a work with you. I have been a christian for 34 years now and God is still doing a work in me. He reveals His power to us and then gives us the opportunity to work with Him in the process of restoring and renewing our lives. It's not always an easy process, but it well worth it.
You work out your salvation by obeying His Word and surrendering every area of your life to Him. You are working out your salvation when you choose to do the right thing, even when it's difficult and you don't want to. You are working out your salvation when you stand strong and resist temptation. Remember, God is the one at work in you to give you the power to work out your salvation. He's empowered you to overcome every obstacle! As you cultivate what He's deposited within you, you'll experience more of His power so you can live the life of victory He has in store for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the work You are doing in my life. I choose to work with You so that I can live the life of victory You have prepared. Help me to be an example of Your love and faithfulness. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
