NOT BY HUMAN POWER BUT BY GOD’S GRACE ALONE
There is nothing in us that allows us to claim that we are capable of doing this work. The capacity we have comes from God; it is he who made us capable of serving the new covenant, which consists not of a written law but of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 GNT
The fulfillment of the Divine purpose in life comes but not from the energy and wisdom of human nature, self efforts, personal struggles, scheming, manipulations and without stress.
Divine accomplishment comes only by your total surrender to Jesus Christ, wholly following Him and your absolute dependence upon the Holy Spirit. God does all He has purposed in anyone and by anyone only by Himself and He alone works out His counsel in His own way, by His own terms and in His own time.
If life or what you do is burdensome then, there is something that is fundamentally wrong. If what you do is commanded by the Lord and you are walking in the Lord’s strength, there should be no complaints because God alone is sufficient to fund whatever He had commanded.
However, if you are seeking to produce for God and by your own efforts certainly, frustrations, disappointments and failure will be inevitable.
I pray the Lord will grant you a deeper understanding of the secret of divine fruitfulness and fulfillment in life. Good morning and have a fruitful weekend.
Your brother,
