God is Always Working by Joyce Meyer

1 Thessalonians 4

1FURTHERMORE, [a]BRETHREN, we beg and admonish you in [virtue of our union with] the Lord Jesus, that [you follow the instructions which] you learned from us about how you ought to walk so as to please and gratify God, as indeed you are doing, [and] that you do so even more and more abundantly [attaining yet greater perfection in living this life].

In 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul wrote, "When you received the message of God [which you hear] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]" (emphasis mine {Joyce}).

The Bible says that God's Word works in those who believe it. So no matter what you see today, believe that God is working on your breakthrough.

Kat's notes: I wanted to share this one, because it just seemed to touch my spirit deeply. I don't know that I necessarily feel like I am waiting for a particular breakthrough, but The Spirit knows things even I am unaware of to pray for on my behalf.

Romans 8:26-27

Amplified Bible (AMP)

26So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

27And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.(A)

So when I don't know what to pray, I rely on the Holy Spirit to utter God's will on my behalf and filter his desires into my heart. I also pray that any of you waiting on a particular breakthrough, known or unknown, you will trust, seek, and believe that no matter what your circumstance is currently, God wants the best for you. And when you don't know what to pray, just be open and honest with God and The Holy Spirit and say "I don't know what to pray, but you do...so please move on my behalf."

I thank God for always working in our lives.I thank him for touching my heart with a simple devotion and leading me to share it. The things I experience aren't just for me and I know there is someone else who needed to hear God's words through Joyce, just like I did.

Have a blessed day!!!! ;)
