For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Philippians 2:13
Devotional Message
Every morning, we have an opportunity to be a vessel to share God’s light. He is our ultimate source of everything—love, joy, abundance, peace, forgiveness, compassion. He actively works within us at each moment, if we choose to embody His energy through every interaction, every conversation, and every decision. The goal then is to align our actions and behaviors with His will—allowing our desires, motivations, and what we want to mirror what God desires, motivates, and wants for us.
When we place our confidence in God’s power, allowing Him to work through us at each moment, we remove the pressure to be perfect and instead surrender to the highest good. By praying to him each day, ‘God, work through me today to be a vessel of Your light,’ we begin to receive divine nudges, intuitive promptings, and new desires that become the breadcrumbs leading us on the right path towards fulfilling His ultimate goal and plan. We then begin to trust that even when it doesn’t make sense, the voice voice telling us to go somewhere, say something, or do something, is coming from Him through that prayer. He has sovereignty over our spiritual transformation, where He not only helps us but actually shapes our desires and enables us to act in accordance with His will.
Choosing to trust God’s good purpose in everything we do or experience, even when we can’t see the full picture, allows God’s work in us to align to His will and His plans. Sometimes, following those nudges may lead to an uncomfortable decision, a hard conversation, or a challenging moment, but each time we follow where He’s leading us, we expand our souls to receive more of His love and light, and we align to His divine energy rather than that of our ego.
Let’s Pray
Dear God, please work through me today to be a vessel of Your light, and align my desires, actions, and behaviors according to Your will, timing, and plan. I trust that Your power will always lead to a higher purpose, and that by relying on Your empowerment versus my own strength, I will follow the breadcrumbs that lead me to my destiny. Throughout the day, please help me recognize Your work in me so that I know I’m on the right path. Give me sensitivity to the divine nudges and promptings You place in my heart, and courage to act on them even when they don’t make sense to my logical mind. Thank You that it is You who works in me both to will and to act according to Your good purpose. Amen.
