"Now
may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that
great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
covenant,
make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."
Hebrews 13:20-21 (NKJV)
Right now, there are two building projects going on close to where I live in Germany. Sometimes, when I go by these places and I look at what they are doing at the construction site, I have some idea what is happening, and a basic idea of what the end result will be. But there are other times that I look at what is happening, and I have no idea what is going on. However, I am confident that there are building plans somewhere that the workers are following and the end result of the construction will be exactly what it was designed to be.
Often, when we are looking at some type of construction project, we do not always understand exactly what is happening, or how what is currently being done will bring the right end result. This is also how things work in our own spiritual growth process; God is working on us, and other people, in ways we do not always recognize or understand, but God has a plan. We all need to grow and develop spiritually, and God is the One who is working on us and in us, even when we do not see or understand what is happening.
God is working in us, developing and maturing us to help us succeed in life and to be equipped to do the things He has planned for us to do. We don't always see or understand what God is doing, but as Hebrews 13:21 says, God is working to develop and mature us, and He is doing things in our life that are well pleasing in His sight. We may not recognize exactly what is happening while we are under construction, but if we allow God to work in us, the end result will be exactly as He has planned, and even better than we might expect.
make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."
