Gospel Reflections #297: God is at Work in us and Outside of us

Psalm 20:8 "Some boast of their chariots, others of their horses, / But we will chant the name of the Lord our God."

We human beings take advantage by making various efforts to accumulate achievements, accomplishments, and all kinds of things so that we can be praised by the world and ourselves as much as possible.

We human beings think that we have obtained these things by ourselves, but this is never the case.

We do not become successful or wealthy without the help of anyone else.

God is at work behind our good deeds and our rewards in this world, moreover.

God is at work in our hearts, and the results are seen in our actions. And the world also looks at our actions and evaluates them.

We Christians believe, see, and experience the unseen. So we know that God is certainly at work in our good deeds. So we don't look at the various accomplishments and substances; we look at God who has given them to us. And because we look up to God, we are able to reflect His love.

We can reflect God's love and power because we see Him face to face.

Today, let us walk boldly in prayer, saying, "If God is with me, let Him show me how He works so that I can see.

God will surely show me more than I can imagine!
