He Is Working In You
“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” Philippians 1:6
Has God called you to do something you don’t feel capable of doing?
Maybe you can even think of a dozen others better suited for the job? It doesn’t matter what you think, God didn’t choose somebody else! He chose you in spite of your limitations and insecurities.
Your inadequacies don’t surprise Him. In fact, His ‘power works best in weakness.’ 2 Corinthians 12:9.
You may hide your weaknesses from others, but you can’t hide them from God. He created you, do you think He made a mistake?
He created you with weaknesses to keep you on your knees, without them to push you back to God you’ll probably become proud and full of yourself.
God won’t allow you to use the weakness as an excuse for avoiding your mission or ignoring your purpose. If God is calling you to a monumental task, He will equip you to complete it.
The Holy Spirit is working from inside you, so focus on His strength, not yours. Don’t think about how incapable you are for the task. Remember, God is bigger than anything you face, no matter how overwhelming it may appear.’
The Bible says we were ‘created in Christ to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ Ephesians 2:10.
God’s plans are never an afterthought. He designed you for a specific purpose, and the One who ‘began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.’ So instead of letting fear stop you, let it push you to the Almighty One who is ever ready to help you.
