“God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Php 2:13 NLT #God Is at Work Within You (2) The #Bible says: “It is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure …satisfaction and delight” (AMP). We have a tendency to allow a hundred and one different things to crowd God out of our lives, so He creates within us the desire to do His will. When you #desire to read your Bible, it’s God urging you to do it. When you desire to #pray, it’s God moving you to do it. When you desire to give, it’s God #motivating you to do it. #Jesus said: “I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing…If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted” (Jn 15:5,7 NLT). Note the word “dwell”; it means to live in and take up residence. So as you live in close relationship with #Christ, the desires conceived within you are desires He can fulfill. When you sense that God has put certain desires in your #heart, it’s important to pray and ask for those things. If you’re not sure whether or not they’re from Him, pray: “#Lord, I believe You’ve put this desire in my heart so I am asking You to fulfill it. But I can be happy without it, because I am happy with You. Now it’s up to You to do whatever You want.” Have you reached that place in your #relationship with God yet? #DailyDevotional
