God is at Work in You!

Ephesians 3:19, "May you experience the love of Christ though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." (NLT) Each of us are aware of the influences of this culture which seek to conform us to the attitudes of carnal and fleshly desires. We know that we face the daily challenge of making the correct decisions regarding the way that we live and conduct our lives. BUT we must remember that God has planned and He is prepared to release His love and power into our lives. I want to connect the need of obedience to this passage in Ephesians. As we open our hearts to God in sincere and authentic obedience we are prepared to experience His work in us. We must continue to seek for God to do "His work" in our lives. Have we tried to live off our attempts to do "our work" in our lives rather than depending on the "fullness of life and power that comes from God?" As the Spirit of God within you instructs and inspires your obedience to Him, we come to know God by knowing His ways. True obedience and surrender provides the opportunity for all of us to know God in a deeper, more intimate relationship. The development of that relationship reveals the deepness of God's love and power. Let us remain focused on obedience and surrender to God. Obedience and surrender will give us the strength and power we need to live a successful Christian life which pleases God and brings glory to His name. Obedience and surrender will provide the strength and power we need to overcome and defeat the strategies of the enemy of our soul.
