Little me in the Big God

For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Philippians 2:13 (NIV)

Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

One of Kathryn Kuhlman’s slogans reads: “Little me in the BIG God”. She believed that it’s all about God; this belief characterized a simple yet a highly impactful life that showcased God’s raw power through the Holy Spirit. God’s power and greatness was revealed through her life without any reservation. Reading through those pages of books that documented some of the miracles God wrought through her, I can only conclude that God mightily used her for His glory. Personally, I was strengthened when I read some of her books. In fact, Apostle Paul’s confession “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” became real and had profound meaning to me!

We can only make great impact when we choose to forget our little self in the great God. When we come to that understanding that it is God who is at work inside us both “to will and to act” then we can work in line with Him. It has never been about our ability or our strength because it is not by human strength or ability but by God’s grace. He that knew you before you were formed; knows everything about you and it is only Him who can fulfill His word concerning you. It is only wise to align ourselves with Him so that He will prove Himself mightily in us and through us. Acknowledge your inability and His ability and submit to God totally. Receive the gift of salvation through Christ Jesus, and abide in Him. May the truth of this revelation sink into our spirits so that we can live according to God’s plan, and purpose for our lives.

Self-Reflection: No boasting, it is by grace!

Action Point: We can only make great impact when we choose to forget our little self in the great God.

Daily Confession: Lord, I agree that I cannot do without You; I humble myself and ask You to work Your greatness in my life and through me. Amen

Intercessory prayer:

Hymn: Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood.
