He Is Doing The Work Of Your Spirituality

Philippians 1:6

"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."

This is a powerful thought!  Do you ever wonder about how you be able to carry on?  Do you ever find yourself without the strength to face another day?  Do you ever question whether you have what it takes to "live this Christian life" for the rest of your days?

Well, notice that this verse clearly says that He is the one who is working inside you!  He started the work, and He will carry it on!  Friends, the Christian life is one of inexplainable rest.  It makes very little sense to the religious mind that all the efforts we try to put in can be more detrimental to us than beneficial.  We think if we work hard we will be successful.

But that's not the way of the Christian.  Jesus was the most relaxed man on the Earth.  And I have news for you, God is the most relaxed Being in the Universe!  After the Work of Salvation was completed at the Cross, God sat down.  He is at rest.  He isn't stressed!  And this verse very interestingly points to a similar attitude we should be taking.

He is the one working in us!  We don't need to strive or work at getting closer to God or even becoming more spiritual.  We need to simply rest.  Rest in His Finished Work.  Rest in what He has accomplished, and rest in the Truth that He Loves us more than we could ever love ourselves!  He will never let us drift away.

Friends, rest in Him today.  Stop trying to make life happen.  Including your spiritual life.  He will see your spirituality through to the end.  Because He Loves you!  This is Good News!
