Meditate On
I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
See
Jesus Doing It Through You
Under the old covenant of law, man works
for God. That’s why the law states very clearly, “You shall not…you shall
not…you shall…you shall…” (Exodus 20:3–17). The focus is on you working. Under
grace, God works. That’s why, in reference to the new covenant, God said, “I
will…I will…I will…” (Hebrews 8:8–12). You rest in His “I wills” as He works in
you, through you and for you.
Today, the question is, how do we rest in
His “I wills” on a practical basis and see the Lord doing what He wants to do
in our lives?
My friend, it’s simple. Let’s suppose that
you have an important sales presentation to make and your boss expects you to
clinch the deal. Instead of worrying, bring Jesus into the picture. See Him
giving the presentation. See Him clinching the deal. Just tell Him, “Jesus,
this is Your assignment. This is Your project.” Involve Him and allow Him to
work in you, through you and for you. The more you rest in Him, the less the
stress and the greater the success you’ll have.
Beloved, the more you let go, trust in
Jesus and rest in Him, the more you’ll find that you can do all things through
Christ who strengthens you. He will strengthen you and work mightily in you to
give you good success!
