Will you step out in faith and let God do His part?

Who is it that provides the power and produces the results from your obedience?

“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;” Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)

It is not my job or your job to generate the power or produce the results of our actions. If you love God, you will obey Him and once you obey by stepping out in faith, then He can work through you. Jesus is “the author and finisher of our faith”. He obeyed the Father and “for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).

Obey God and let Him control the way, the performing and the results of that obedience. Trust Him enough to step out in that first step of obedience and then “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

You trusted Him for your Salvation; trust Him for your daily walk with Him. Jesus will complete what He starts, He will finish this race here on earth and eternity with you. Obey the will of God you know and watch God work in your life and through your life. The power and the results are His responsibility and when you rest in this knowledge all the pressure to “perform” is taken off your shoulders and left on Jesus where it belongs.
As Charles Stanley often says, “Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.”

God is not only able, but trustworthy to perform what He says He will do.

It was God who brought the walls of Jericho down, not Joshua, it was God who parted the Jordan when the priest stood in it, it was God who saved the three thousand at Pentecost when Peter preached and it will be God who will one day come and take you to “ever be with the Lord” so read, study and spend time with God in prayer and Bible study and get to know and love Him more. The miracles you see as you obey may not be anything like these above, but Him using you to disciple and love others is a miracle and when you get to be there when God saves someone that is certainly a huge miracle!
