There is a difference between working for God and working with God. When you work for God you seek to please him, you hope to make him happy at your works, you want to be in his good books, you sometimes wonder if it is his will - especially when challenges come. You can easily stagger simply because you are doing it for him and you are not absolutely sure it is good enough. You say you rely on grace, but truth is you are sacrificing yourself to earn more of his recognition or favour or anointing, you seek to be acknowledged for the work you are doing, you find it easy to explain how you achieved what you achieve, because it is simply natural and acceptable. You have flaws and you praise them because you believe you are not perfect anyway. However, when you work WITH God You are working together with him, you are in sync with him, you are confident in what you do because you are simply doing what he is instructing you, you watch him do and then you do, you work from position of having pleased God because he gave the instruction and the backing for doing what you doing, you dont have flaws because God is flawless and he guides the steps of a righteous man, you do not wonder if it is Gods will but you know, you are sure it is his will because it was never your plan in the first place, you function under his influence and favour (grace) because you are with him. You find it difficult to explain how it all works out without mentioning God because it is simply supernatural and beyond human ability. You are not afraid of challenges because you know you are with him and therefore victory is guaranteed, you do not lack a thing in that which you do. You keep your focus. You do not grow weary, simply because it is never your strength, you have no limitations or barriers because you working with an impossible-to-limit God. You celebrate success all the way, you are with Him. You easily point the glory to Him because you know he did it all you are simply a vessel he used. You are blind to the world and seeing in Faith. You have Gods backing and leading. On this day look at your life and choose to work with God and not merely for Him. In Isaiah 1:19 he says if only you would let me help you, I will make you rich, you will feast as kings. History Makers Family Intl
