I Will Do As You Say: Part 2

Let us obey God just because He asks- not because it makes any sense, not because we necessarily want to do what He asks (though He will then be “at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure”),  not because someone else couldn’t do it better (maybe they could, but if He’s asking you, then He is asking you and not them),  not because we feel like we have the time….or for any other reason- just in obedience to our Master, at His bidding.

“[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you- energizing and creating in you the power and desire- both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.  Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [against God] and questioning and doubting [among yourselves].  That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation- [spiritually] perverted and perverse.  Among whom you are seen as bright lights- stars or beacons shining out clearly – in the [dark] world;  Holding out [to it] and offering [to all men] the Word of Life…”  Philippians 2:13-16a Amplified

 Spend some time TODAY seeking Him and the answers to a few probing questions:

     What is He asking you to do through His Word?

     What has He put on your heart?

     Will you trust Him and obey?  Trusting that His will is good and pleasing and acceptable and certainly what is best for you and those around you? 

     Will you do what He says?

Let Him SHINE through you.
