Reflection #1 on 'All I Need' by Shawn McDonald

Won't You open my eyes
So I can see
The way that You are working in me

Did you know that God is at work in you? Well, He is.

"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose" (Philippians 2:12-13, NIV).

God is at work every day and every moment in you to help you. He is your Creator, and as such He could claim ownership in your life. But God does not force you to serve Him or to love Him. We are living in a time of His grace, mercy and kindness. He wants to work with you, in you, through you.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen" (Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV).

It is amazing to think that the God who made everything you can see is at work inside you and me. He can do things beyond our wildest hopes or dreams. In the song "All I Need," Shawn McDonald asks the Lord to help him see how He is at work in his life. You can ask the same. Look for Him at work in and through you today. My prayer is that you will be surprised at how much of Him others see in you.
