Unveiling God's Work Within You: Embracing the Divine Will
Introduction: In the realm of spiritual growth, we encounter the profound wisdom of working out what God is at work within us. The words penned in Philippians 2:12-13, "Work out your own salvation, for it is God who works in you," echo with a timeless truth that urges us to understand the intricate interplay between our will and God's divine purpose.
Awakening the Will: As believers, we experience a harmonious resonance between our will and God's when our conscience is touched by His presence. This initial encounter awakens a responsive agreement within us. Reflecting on the life of Jesus, we discover an unwavering alignment between His will and His conscience, which serves as a guiding light for us.
Overcoming Inner Resistance: Yet, within the depths of our being, we encounter an opposing force. A force that sometimes hinders our willingness to obey—stubbornness. This stubbornness is incongruent with God's design and grace. The essence of a person lies in their will—a sacred gift from the Creator. Sin disrupted this harmony, but through rebirth, the source of our will is realigned with Almighty God.
Divine Partnership in Will and Action: God's role as the architect of our will is central to our understanding. In the words, "For it is God that works in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure," we recognize a divine partnership. It's not about striving to earn salvation, but rather about embracing the transformation that God initiates within us.
Working Out, Not Against: Our journey is about working out what God works in—cultivating the evidence of our unshakable faith in the redemption found in the Lord. This process doesn't involve conflicting wills, but rather aligning our will with God's. Our choices become second nature, flowing naturally in accordance with His divine purpose.
Breaking Barriers: Stubbornness, an unenlightened barrier, can impede this process. The solution lies in dismantling this barrier through obedience empowered by the Holy Spirit. Instead of letting stubbornness hinder us, we can utilize the dynamite of obedience to overcome it.
The Source of Will: A cornerstone belief emerges: God is the wellspring of our will. Not only does He expect us to follow His will, but His presence within us empowers us to do so. The intricate fusion of God's will and our own is an awe-inspiring manifestation of His work within us.
Conclusion: In the intricate dance between our will and God's divine purpose, we uncover a profound truth: the process of working out what God works in us. This journey isn't a solitary effort, but a collaboration with the Almighty—a harmonious symphony where our choices align naturally with His design. As we embrace this partnership, we tap into the transformative power of God's presence, ultimately allowing His will to become our own.
