II Chronicles 16: 9 (NIV)
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are full committed to Him.
This week, we are going to talk about the characteristics of a man/woman of GOD. It is important for us to remember these characteristics and practice living them, so that we will grow in strength and love and knowledge of the LORD. We must begin our journey with commitment TO GOD. Too many of us try to do things ourselves, like a self-help guru, only to find that we can not achieve a lasting character change. We get frustrated and "throw the baby out with the bath" or give up trying, because we feel so guilty that we can't do it our self.
The Scripture for today helps us set the right foundation for our growth and our success. The heart must change. This means that the work must begin in the heart and the LORD does the work of transformation.
When we commit our life to the LORD JESUS, He begins the transformation process. What we do, is watch for the changes and rejoice, giving thanks to Him for what He has accomplished. He asks that we be willing to change; commit our life to Him; trust His grace and mercy; forgive our self; and always give Him the glory. This attitude and focus sets in motion the process that HE controls and all the changes are for good and are permanent. What we do to our self can only harm us and are temporary at best.
LET THE LORD GOD HAVE HIS PERFECT WORK IN YOU. TRUST HIM WITH YOUR LIFE, HE WILL STRENGTHEN YOU.
