Glowing In The Light Of HIS Purposes!

All of God's people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose he has given them.

Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest

 

When life changes and it doesn't make sense, you can wear out your mind trying to understand how God thought that this life transition was good!! I am learning so much about the purposes of God through the unplanned changes that have taken place in my life lately. I am in South Carolina! I have moved to Charleston from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina, my favorite home here on earth! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought this move to Charleston would be a part of my life plan! I believe in God wholeheartedly and I am learning to be "completely" His. He said go and we picked up and went. He said go and He paid for it down to the last penny and provided a job that was more than we could ever have imagined or hoped for! Therefore, this move has been easy on my soul, hard on my will, fatiguing for my mind and exciting for my spirit and in the middle of this jumbled up emotional whole is the prevailing purposes of God at work in me!

I understand that God is good and I act out of my faith, because of this truth. I know what God has brought into my life path will turn out to be better than I could ever imagine; even if in my right now I can't wrap my mind around what is happening! When it comes to God doing the best thing for me, there is no doubt, no temptation and no anxiety that can stand the test of His truth and promise. I believe in His goodness towards me! So, I am in South Carolina waiting for His Kingdom purposes to be worked out in me and through me. Even if I can't clearly see His intentions right now, I believe He is working them out through my salvation in my personal relationship with Him. I believe in Him and I know that He would not have brought me here without a predestined purpose in His mind and His plan!

    God's purposes are being worked out in the unseen in each one of our situations for our good! He is our personal goodness advocate! We can believe this in good hope! If I meant what I said when I promised God my life and asked Him to use it for His glory, then that is why I am here in South Carolina! I am willessly waiting and expecting Him to reveal to me His purposes. Until then, I am daily being found in Him doing the work of His Kingdom through the Kingdom Trade He has already trained me in, by His Holy Spirit's strength, authority and power!

This will be another great God Adventure for me to write about because I know He is working out His plans and that always ends up with a great testimony! Today as I thought about how crazy it is that we have moved here at the worst economic times in our country, my faith and belief in God speaks louder than those fears that tickle my mind with anxiety. I will set my heart, my plans and my actions in a Holy Alignment with His truth, His thoughts, His intents and His purposes! Yes I will! I am His Ambassador in South Carolina! Yes Lord, Yes… AMEN! Glowing His Purposes! Kimberlymac

 

Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.

Quote By Martin Luther

 

Philippians 2:13-19

God is working in you. He wants your plans and your acts to be in keeping with his good purpose.

God's good-will to us is the cause of His good work in us.

Quote By: Matthew Henry Commentary Philippians 2

 

Philippians 2:16-18

Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ's return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. 17 But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God,[a] just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. 18 Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.

Philippians 2:13-19

[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while [a]effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and [b]delight. 14Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [[c]against God] and [d]questioning and doubting [among yourselves], 15That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guiltless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world, 16Holding out [to it] and offering [to all men] the Word of Life, so that in the day of Christ I may have something of which exultantly to rejoice and glory in that I did not run my race in vain or spend my labor to no purpose. 17Even if [my lifeblood] must be poured out as a libation on the sacrificial offering of your faith [to God], still I am glad [to do it] and [e]congratulate you all on [your share in] it. 18And you also in like manner be glad and [f]congratulate me on [my share in] it. 19But I hope and trust in the Lord Jesus soon to send Timothy to you, so that I may also be encouraged and cheered by learning news of you.

Timing is so important! If you are going to be successful in dance, you must be able to respond to rhythm and timing. It's the same in the Spirit. People who don't understand God's timing can become spiritually spastic, trying to make the right things happen at the wrong time. They don't get His rhythm - and everyone can tell they are out of step. They birth things prematurely, threatening the very lives of their God-given dreams.

Quote By T. D. Jakes

 

Matthew Henry Commentary Philippians 2:19-30

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

 

Diligence in the affairs of salvation, and to be examples to the world.

We must be diligent in the use of all the means which lead to our salvation, persevering therein to the end. With great care, lest, with all our advantages, we should come short. Work out your salvation, for it is God who worketh in you. This encourages us to do our utmost, because our labour shall not be in vain: we must still depend on the grace of God. The working of God's grace in us, is to quicken and engage our endeavours. God's good-will to us, is the cause of his good work in us. Do your duty without murmurings. Do it, and do not find fault with it. Mind your work, and do not quarrel with it. By peaceableness; give no just occasion of offence. The children of God should differ from the sons of men. The more perverse others are, the more careful we should be to keep ourselves blameless and harmless. The doctrine and example of consistent believers will enlighten others, and direct their way to Christ and holiness, even as the light-house warns mariners to avoid rocks, and directs their course into the harbour. Let us try thus to shine. The gospel is the word of life, it makes known to us eternal life through Jesus Christ. Running, denotes earnestness and vigour, continual pressing forward; labouring, denotes constancy, and close application. It is the will of God that believers should be much in rejoicing; and those who are so happy as to have good ministers, have great reason to rejoice with them.

Just think you are here not by chance but by GOD's choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else; you are one of a kind. You lack nothing that His grace can't give you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation. You are GOD's servant in GOD's place at GOD's perfect time.
