God is at Work

 God is at Work

Philippians 2:13

13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure

Do you ever look at all that is going on around you and wonder whether God is at work or not? The world can get crazy and sometimes it’s hard to cope. It was no different in the first century. The Apostle Paul goes on to say how we should act in difficult times.

Philippians 2:14-16

14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

“Without grumbling or disputing”, now there is the rub!  We love to grumble and complain about all the injustice that we perceive in our world. “It’s not fair!” Is a common refrain, and advertising is always promising something better because “you deserve it”. But the Word says that this is a “crooked and perverse generation”, and 2000 years has not improved on that assessment. 

So how do we act? Paul says to recognize that God is at work and that his will for us is good. Walking is such a way as to demonstrate His love and faithfulness will show His light to the world. So hold fast to the word of life and do all to the glory of God for He is at work in you.
