Working 'For' God or 'From' God?

It is the origin that makes an eternal difference.

For it is not your strength, but God is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work, that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 AMP

 

Working 'For' God or 'From' God?

 

When we move from the thought of working for God to the knowledge of working from God, we experience great freedom and resulting power.

 

What is the difference?

 

Origin. 

 

It is not what we do that has eternal impact, but from where what we do originates.

 

"For the only thing that matters is faith expressing itself in love."

 

It isn't the act of giving that is holy, but the love that motivates the holy giving.

 

"But if a person has no love...everything they do is nada."

 

So, how do we live from God?

 

By abiding in Him, and this starts by recognizing He is our life.

 

When have you found yourself working for God?

 

How do you know if God is leading or you are leading?

 

 

Lord, show me the beauty of You, the Vine, holding on to me, giving Your life to me, and bearing Your fruit through me. Continue to move us from a have to and must mindset to the mind of Christ, Who says, "I only can do what the Father does through me." Amen
