By God’s Power

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.

Observation: I keep thinking I’m doing things by my power and then I realize apart from God I can’t do anything. I don’t know how God can see me worthy, but His mercy goes well beyond what I can understand. I know God has a purpose for me and He has given me so much and I do need His power and guidance to fulfill any purpose He desires of me.

Application: A key factor in this is my faith, which is weak at best. God has proven himself faithful time and time again and I need to trust Him that He will complete this good work He has begun in me. I need to live a life worthy of God I know He knows I’m not perfect, but if I try and put Him first in my life I know that will honor Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord help me be the man you desire. I want to live a life worthy of You and I need your guidance and direction each day. Open doors for me to share what you have done in my life to bring others closer to you.
