Are you excited today that God is at work in your life? If you are suffering or hurting today, God is at work. If you are joyful, happy and content today, God is at work. God is going to accomplish His purposes in your life.
God is in the process of sanctifying His children. We are sanctified (set apart), and we are being sanctified (conformed to His image). First Thessalonians 5:23, "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."(NIV) God is changing you. God is changing you from what you were, what you are, to what He wants you to be. Do you want to know one of the tools He uses to do that? He uses His Word.
While praying to the Father as recorded in John 17:6-19, Jesus asked the Father to "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." God uses His word to sanctify you and me. God uses His word to change us. Knowing that increases my passion to be in His word. I want to be
changed. I want to be more and more like Jesus. How about you? Your challenge for the day is to spend at least 15 minutes intently reading the Scriptures, and to jot down any observation the Lord impresses upon you. Everyone can find 15 minutes in their day.
