​God is at work in your circumstances

‘[His] power… is at work within us… to [carry out His purpose].’ Ephesians 3:20 AMP

Jon Walker writes: ‘We manage time, waste time, spend time, and save time. We wish it would come… we wish it would pass… we see time fly… we feel it drag. We watch clocks and carry calendars… yet God controls time.

He created time, and His creations are fenced by His time, directed and guided by His loving hand. We’re surprised by unexpected developments, but God is never surprised by even the most disastrous turn of events. And your outlook on life changes dramatically when you know that at this very moment God is working within you “to carry out His purpose.”

Think about how you’d live if you were absolutely certain God was at the end of your deadline. That even if there were mere seconds left, you believed with certainty He was working through your circumstances. Believing God is there and about to provide is the essence of faith.

“Jesus…is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8 NLT) 

Time can’t diminish His love or His power to work within your life. He was there in the past; He’s present in the now, and He’ll be there in the future.’

The truth is, God has time in the palm of His hand. ‘…a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday…’ (Psalm 90:4 ESV) God’s ultimate goal is to bring to eternity, not just get you through to the weekend. Remind yourself that in every situation:

‘[His] power…is at work within us…to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly…above all that we [dare] ask or think…[beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams].’
