The Whispers that Transform

2 Peter 1:3

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

God sets the vision for our lives and puts everything in place for us to fulfill the plan.  He provides His Holy Spirit to stand by us, to guide us and to instruct us in the person, the grace and the righteousness that is Jesus Christ.  For knowledge of Christ is preferable to all other knowledge.

We must, however, take all the small steps needed to move from one place to the next higher place that God has planned for us.  We must be obedient to the urgings of the Holy Spirit as we overcome the callings of our flesh.  We must allow the Holy Spirit to move us from a knowledge of Our Savior into a meaningful relationship with Him.

Along the way, Satan will challenge each and every step.  And once we really start making progress, Satan will turn his evil on those around us, especially those close to us.  Built up by our faith and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, we will overcome.  Our tiny steps of obedience as we surrender to the whispers of Our Helper will take us to the awaited goal.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your promise to complete Your good work in our lives.  Thank You for the faith that You provide us through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  We pray that You will help us to build a relationship with Your Son and His Holy Spirit who has been sent to be Our Helper.  Help us to become tuned in to every tiny whisper from the Holy Spirit that reminds us of Your promises and guides us in faith on our journey of sanctification.  We ask all these things in the name of the Anointed One, Jesus Christ.
