\nlet him do it in the strength which is given by God. . .
Do you see how thrilling this is? I can actually do this. You can. Anybody who is willing to bow before the throne and accept her or his calling can allow these hand-crafted works or our Redeemer to flow through their lives like a great rushing Wind.<\/p>\n
So if I receive a work order from the King, then I carry it out as his servant, his steward, his minister, the person he has chosen for a specific task on the planet at this point in time.<\/p>\n
. . .if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others,
let him do it in the strength which is given by God;
so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ,
whose are the glory and the power for ever.
(1 Peter 4:11b BBE)<\/div>\n
If I have a vision for the work of God, then I can do the things he trusts me with in his strength, and even as I just now write that, I take a big gulp of mercy and grace and my heart is filled with gratitude that I can actually be a part of what God is doing in his redemption plan.<\/p>\n
Thank you, Father!<\/p>\n

if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help.
That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus,
and he’ll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything
– encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!
