“for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”Philippians 2:13 NIV
We see in Genesis that God rested on the seventh day after working for 6. This is our first concept of God working. We can imagine He susta around all day watching us. However, He is at work in all of us: bringing us the awareness of our need for salvation; outworking that salvation in our lives through His Holy Spirit. He corrects, challenges, comforts but never controls.
I can be in a day of fleshly attitudes and His Holy Spirit will usually wake me in the wee hours and show me my sin. As we are not all on the same time scale His work is continual.
Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, and whilst He has finished the work of redemption for us, He intercedes for us, constantly.
The Holy Spirit also intercedes for us. I am so grateful that I have such powerful intercessors, as without them I would not make it complete, to Heaven.
I may be disappointed with my own behaviour, but He, graciously knowing my flesh, does not discard me. He will never discard me. I am His and He is mine. He is forever faithful.
Thank You Lord!
