\u2018He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.\u2019 Philippians 1:6 NIV<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want God\u2019s will to be done in your life, don\u2019t rush things. Sarah, Abraham\u2019s wife, did that. As a result Ishmael was born, and that brought all sorts of strife and family complications\u2014that still trouble us, even in the twenty-first century. <\/p>\n

Remember: \u2018Flesh gives birth to flesh but the Spirit gives birth to spirit\u2019<\/i> (John 3:6 NIV), so be sure your plans are conceived by God\u2019s Spirit. Don\u2019t try to salvage anything flesh-based. God said, \u2018My covenant I will establish with Isaac.\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 17:21 NIV) <\/p>\n

Isaac was born as a result of God\u2019s will, done God\u2019s way, in God\u2019s time. Everything that\u2019s conceived in you comes from one of two sources: the flesh or the Spirit. So be careful. People will try to involve you in all kinds of schemes to promote yourself. God doesn\u2019t need anybody\u2019s help to bless you; He can do it all by Himself! That\u2019s why whenever Satan attacks you, you need to be able to point him to your spiritual birthplace and remind him that you didn\u2019t begin this project and you don\u2019t have to finish it. <\/p>\n

\u2018He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.\u2019<\/i> And here\u2019s another thought. If God\u2019s dealing with you about carnality, pride, or some other obstacle in your path, don\u2019t resist, don\u2019t run, and don\u2019t get in His way. Like a drowning man frantically trying to save himself\u2014until you stop flailing around God can\u2019t do anything for you. So the word for you today is: \u2018Try less and trust more!\u2019<\/p>\n
