The Work of God

God is so good. He is my revealer!

This morning He spoke to me about what He does. About His work.

Well, actually before I read my bible. I was messed up by all of my problems. They are too complicated for me. I just couldn’t solve them. I wondered and wondered, asking myself how to solve them. Analyzing them with my brain, but couldn’t find the answer. When I analyzed them, they got even worse. My imagination told me that the strings are getting more and more complicated. The more I analyzed my problems, the more complicated they became.

As usual, I gave up on my analyzing skill, and I turned to His word. God told me that He is able to do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine according to His power that is at work within me (Eph 3:20). He told me that He is greater than all of my problems. He is able to solve my problems with a perfect solution that I never even imagine! Because He is beyond my imagination. Amen.

And not just that, God took me to His office, showing me what He does all the time. He showed me His work by telling me a story about a blind man.

There was a blind man. The man was blind since birth. And Jesus’ disciples asked Him: “Why is he blind? Is it because of his sin? Or his parents’ sin?” Jesus told them that neither him nor his parents sinned. The reason why the man is blind since birth is because God wants to show His work through His life.

So, I (David), ask my Lover and Revealer, “what is your work then? Is it to heal the blind?”

He then continued His story. The blind man was miraculously healed by Jesus. But that was not the end of the story because God has not finished His work.

The Pharisees interrogated the ex-blind man, because they didn’t believe in this Jesus. They used too much of their logic and ego, how can they believe?

Finally, the Pharisees gave up trying to believe in Jesus. And left the man alone.

Jesus then came to him when he was alone. Jesus asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”. “Who is he, sir?”, the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.” Jesus said, “You have now seen Him in fact, He is the one speaking with you.” Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped Him. That was his last words captured in the bible.

So what is the work of God?

If God is a postman, he will write all the stamps with “Lord, I believe.”

If He is a doctor, he will cure his patient from the disease of unbelieveness.

If He is the president of the United States, His campaign motto will not be “Yes, I can.” But, “Yes, I believe.”

If He is a carpenter, He will make a wooden cross for Himself to be crucified. So that you and I could believe in Him and receive salvation through His sacrifice.

Whatever His work is, He is a God who creates faith in us and makes it perfect through trials and tribulations!

He is our faith creator! That is what He does! That is His work!

The work of God is much more than to make the blind man see. The work of God is to make the blind man believe.

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” (John 6:29 NIV)

Amen.

The brand of a pen is not written in the bibliography, it is just the writer’s name.
Praise God!
