God speaks today Tuesday | December 31, 2024
Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
(Nehemiah 2:18)For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
(Ephesians 2:10) The Courage of Relying on God for Every Good Work
As believers, we have been created in Christ Jesus to do good works. Therefore, we must put together a life project that harmonizes with God's wishes and dreams. We must trust in God and rest in His faithfulness, knowing that He has the best options and optimal solutions for our plans. We must pray and wait for God to do His work in our hearts before embarking on any project. When God chooses godly and consecrated men to carry out His work, they will face opposition, but they must depend on the Lord and cry out in prayer for His guidance and direction. The world we live in is in spiritual ruin, but the Gospel can rebuild and reform the walls that we have let down through indulgence. When we know that we are at the center of His will and totally dependent on Him, we instill confidence and enthusiasm by participating in His work.
