God’s good pleasure is in you

“[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.” The Lord is at work in us willing and working to do His good pleasure in and through us. He delights in our progress in life. We were created for God’s good pleasure. Having been made in His image and likeness, we are like God. We are three part beings like God. We are spirit, soul, and body. God is, Father Son, and Holy Spirit. Our emotions, our free will, didn’t just happen. He created us to have expression and freedom of choice in everything to do. The idea is that we would use our free will and put our spirit, soul, and body into what He has called us to do in life. Fulfilling our purpose is going to be pleasing to God. He put purpose into every living thing, especially us as overseers of the earth. God’s good pleasure is satisfied when we, His children walk in our God given purpose. The Lord put purpose in us at creation. This world which is run by demonic influences, works against our God given purpose. It deceives us into a purpose conducive to this world’s detriment of mankind. Going against the grain of how things are done in this world, sets us apart. We are in this world, but not to be a part of its demonic ways, which are programmed to fail. God is at work in you. Let Him complete that work, and His face will smile upon you.
