For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Thought of the day….
Have you ever asked the question; why are we here? What is our purpose in life? Human reflection may make you think, that all of life is about ‘ME’ or my job, my family, etc. Even though all these things are extremely important, it’s not why we are here. What? God’s word tells us in today’s verse that we are here for His pleasure, His, not ours. We are on this earth for Christ. He put us here to do His will. This is not to say we are called to ministerial service. In fact, most are not. However, we can bring Him pleasure in all we do. Colossians 3:23 says “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” Whether, family, work, or play, we should work at it as if working for the Lord and not for men to bring Him pleasure.
Today I ask, are you bringing Him pleasure?
