Can You Keep Going like This Without Help?
If we cooperate with Him, God wants to will and act through us to fulfill His good pleasure. The Lord wants to have fellowship with us and that’s His reason for creating us in the first place (Genesis 1:26-27). The Bible says we are laborers together with God. We were never supposed to have life apart from our creator (1 Corinthians 3:9). There are certain areas of life that we avoid but they are necessary for our maturity. To fellowship with each other is important for stable social growth. To be separated from society for a long period can make you feel awkward trying to fit back in after a long time of solitude. We were created to have fellowship and to glean from each other’s natural truth and understanding about life in general. Without the Lord willing and working to do His good pleasure in us, we are like mere men and women, in the world without any input from God in our life. All along God’s been working in us but only to the degree we allow Him to. Him having His good pleasure in us means we will be experiencing the blessings of God on another level, a level that causes us to have victorious living on every side of life.
