– Scripture:

‘What I’m getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you’ve done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I’m separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure. ‘

                                  Philippians 2:12 MSG

– Reflection:

                  Do you have a Desire for your Destiny

It’s one thing to desire to live for God and do what pleases Him, but God doesn’t stop there. He says, “I will give you the power to do it. I will give you the favor, courage, skill, and resources you need.” You’re going to feel strength that you’ve never felt before, ability that you’ve never had, and favor like you’ve never seen. God doesn’t just give you the desire; He gives you the ability to accomplish what He puts in your heart.

Where do we go from here?

God has destined desires lined up for you things you want to accomplish that He’s placed in your heart. Others may think these desires are too big or don’t make sense, and that’s because God didn’t put those desires in them. However, it’s important to remember that these desires are leading you down the best path – a path of abundance, greater influence, helping more people, making a bigger difference, and seeing your gifts come out in even greater ways. Get ready, because these desires will be stronger than anything that tries to hold you back.
