Did you catch this? The God of Peace who raised Jesus from the dead, is the same God equipping you with everything good and working in you everything that is pleasing to Him.  Wow! This is no small truth!

This tells me that God’s plan in me is destined for success.  It’s hard to grasp some days how I can be pleasing to the LORD.  Then I remember Christ is my righteousness.  When God looks at me He sees His beautiful and perfect son who is working in and through us; his blood cleansing us from all unrighteousness and we rejoice!

Personal Reflection

We ought to rejoice in the knowledge of this great truth.  God is carrying out His perfect plan of redemption in and through us. The more I meditate on the grace and truth of Jesus, the more I am in awe of the perfect plan of our LORD.   Have you taken time to reflect on all that God is doing in your life?  How is your life different now, than when you first trusted in Christ?  How has He equipped you?  How is He working in you that which is pleasing to Him?

Prayer Focus

Gracious and loving God, we praise you that we are part of your plan of redemption. Equip us according to your will and good purposes that we may light your world with Jesus. May you fill our hearts with love for those in need and our lips with the truth they need to hear.  Grant us your favor that we may bring you glory forever, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
