Believers have it made! Our God is always at work—doing good things. I love knowing He never says, “Well, that is about good enough,” as we often say. He has this amazing perspective for our lives that keeps Him always doing new, wonderful, beneficial things … things that will enhance our lives; equip us for more effectiveness, and expand our capacity for love. How can we not get excited and encouraged by such an understanding? I must admit, some of the training and conditioning processes that are necessary for my journey do not seem desirable. I’m sorry to say I sometimes want to pull out of the training, molding and shaping process and move into a holding pattern. Let’s just leave things the way they are. However, our God never stops helping us to become all that He dreams we can be. So, take a deep breath and enjoy the process. Look forward to the opportunities He will bring when we are ready; rejoice over the excess baggage He will remove and anticipate the blessings He has in store. “For it is God who is at work to will and to work for His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) So … anticipate it all and smile!
