GOD IS WORKING IN YOU
…Being confident of this that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
Sometimes when God is doing a work in our lives, things can get a little uncomfortable. We may encounter people who are hard to get along with or have circumstances that seem beyond our control. When this happens, instead of complaining, getting bitter or trying to change everything around you, look deep inside and say, ‘Lord, thank you for doing a work in me.’
You know why? God is more interested in changing you than He is in changing your circumstances. If you choose to stay bitter because you are not getting your way or discouraged because things aren’t happening according to your time table, that’s going to keep you right where you are.
If you want to see change, if you want to see God open up new doors, the key is to blossom right where you’re planted. You can’t wait until everything gets better before you decide to have a good attitude. You have to be the best that you can be right where you are. When you blossom where you’re planted, you’re allowing God to work in you and He will be faithful to complete what He’s started in you!
Confession
I quit complaining about the things that are missing in my life and avail myself unto the Lord for Him to work in me and through me. I consciously work at becoming who God wants me to be at where I am right now. I am a vessel of honor unto the Lord. I am a better person today!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for doing a work in me. I choose to align myself with your plan by blossoming where I’m planted. Help me, by your Spirit, to be an example of your love and life everywhere I go. I thank you Lord in Jesus’ name. Amen.
