HIS Work HIS Way
So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed My ways but have shown partially in matters of the law. Malachi 2:9
***************************
my work, my way. when you and I live in this world without Christ, we live just as Esau lived his life. Esau despised his birthright and failed to enter into relationship with God that would allowed him to fulfill his destiny. In essence, Esau fulfilled his work, his way. His life represented the carnal life of the flesh.
His work, my way. When you and I become born again by the Spirit of God, we begin to focus our attention on living for Christ. We realize it is His work we are doing, but it takes time before we learn what it means to do His work, His way.
My work, His way. As the Holy Spirit does His work in us, we learn to walk with God. We learn what it means to see our work as His work, and we desire to do it His way. The Israelites were guilty of not knowing how to do their work, His way. Because of this, they were unable to move into the promised Land.
His work, His way. When We begin to walk with God, we realize that all we do is His work and He calls us to do it His way. When we walk with God in this manner, we begin to see the Kingdom of God manifested in our working lives. We begin to experience His power and learn what it means to do His work, His way.
In order to experience God in this manner, each of us must give our working lives to the Lord and ask Him to teach His way. Moses asked God, " If you are pleased with me, teach me Your ways so I may know You and continue to find favor with You" (Exodus 33:13). Moses realized that he needed God to teach him HIS ways in order for him to prosper in his relationship with God.
What best describes your life today? Your work, your way? your work, His way? His work, your way? or His work, His way?
Pray that you learn to do His work, His way. God Bless.
