We Can Become What We Need To Become

When I speak with fellow believers there is a common theme amongst those that have a sense of humility. They worry about whether they can make it, whether they will be good enough. This is a thought that I also have from time to time, and it has caused me to consider the answer. By ourselves, the answer is no. But we are not by ourselves, we have God on our side, making the answer yes. Paul spoke of this in his letter to the Philippians.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

The real question we must settle the answer to is whether or not we will trust our God. Actually, this may be a lifetime journey and not a point in time question. It seems that God has us in a world where He allows us to be presented with challenges on a regular basis. For us to succeed, for us to have Him make us better, we must trust that He will do what He says He will do. Each of these moments becomes and opportunity for us to again trust that He will finish the work in us, that He is our Provider, our Healer, our King. It can be challenging because the world is big and we in ourselves our frail. But we must believe and trust that we are not alone.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. We need Your kingdom in the earth, but mostly in our hearts and minds. Help us today to trust in You. Give us Your abundant provision today. Forgive us our sins, and those that sin against us. We need Your help because we cannot do it alone. Heal us and deliver us. Let Your will reign in the earth. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
