And I am
certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work
until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6 (NLT)
Self-help
is over-rated. Seriously, how far can you take yourself? You already know
everything that you know. What do you know that you can teach yourself? That’s
just silly.
God is
working on you. How does God work? He inspires with His creation (Romans 1). He
speaks through your conscience (Romans 2). Every believer has God’s Spirit
(Romans 8). He influences through other believers. He has given His book, the
Bible (2 Timothy 3:16). God arranges circumstances to speak to you. He has
planned your purposes and your steps. He even uses difficult people and
circumstances to direct or redirect you.
How is God
working in your life today? Maybe something that you assumed was an obstacle is
really a lesson from Him. Maybe the person you would rather avoid is God’s
chisel to craft you into His image.
Life is not
separate from spiritual growth. It’s easy to think, “Well, when I get past this
situation, then I can focus on my spiritual growth.” What you are facing is a
key component in your spiritual growth. That may sound discouraging or even
impossible, but God is always at work around us.
Notice how
God is at work in your life today.
