To Will & To Work

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Philippians 2:13 which says "For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure."

"Well let’s start out with the fact that he does reside within us. So we know he works through us. Like he uses us to brighten others days. He uses us to build his church. He uses us to serve our community.

But this verse isn’t address the work that he does through us. It’s addressing the work that he does in us.

It says God works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

It means that everyday he’s helping mold our hearts. Everyday he is shaping us to become more like Him. How? By presenting challenges and obstacles in front of you.

If you tend to be an angry person he will continue to challenge you to let go of your anger.

If you’re a selfish person he is going to put you in situations that will make you open your eyes to those around you.

 He is constantly putting us in situations that mold us. Teach us lessons. Why?

Well I believe it’s because he wants us all to freely come to Him. He wants us to become better versions of ourselves so that when others ask how we got to where we did we can point it back to Him."
