God is at Work in You: Part 2!!

Philippians 1:6
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;


Last time we talked a bit about Moses reminding God of his shortcomings (as if it were a surprise to God). I love how God uses us even when we feel we have nothing to offer. I'm sure this is kind of how Moses must of felt. This is what is great about Gods calling. He will use someone that the world may see as having nothing to offer and use them to accomplish great things:


1 Corithians 1:26-31
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”


This encourages me because I've realized that God wants to use us in areas we never thought we could be used. If we already thought we were masters at it there would be no room for Him to get the glory. I believe whole heartily that God has given us natural abilities to be used; these abilities are used in our daily functioning. He may even use those abilities as a vehicle to take us places we never thought we would go thus causing us to rely more heavily upon Him. But in our natural ability it is easy to not need Him, because our ability comes natural. It is something were confident we can do pretty good on our own. I believe He wants to stretch us far beyond what we ever thought we were capable of because He wants no flesh to get glory. The great part is that He is at work in us. He is bringing it about. We need to just pray that when He brings that season about in our lives that causes us to stretch far beyond our capacity that we will rise to the challenge. God has great things in store for you.
Be Blessed!!
