Just DO It

Psalm 108:13 With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.

What might you do if you really believed that God was here to help you? What would you attempt for His kingdom if you truly believed that God’s own Spirit lived within you to empower you? … Silly questions? No. The majority of daily readers of Truth in the Morning are confessing Christians, many of long standing. I can hear them now, “Of course I believe God is here to help me and I know His spirit lives in me!” Step back and take a breath, people, no one is saying you don’t.

Psalm 108:13 affirms, “With God’s help we will do mighty things.” The Hebrew reads more literally, “With God we will do mightiness” or “In God we will do strength.” When we are in relationship with the living God, when God’s own Spirit dwells within us, then we will be able to do far more than we might ever have imagined.

Did you notice the two keys in those phrases? The first key is, of course, “With God” and “In God”. It is not about our skills, talents or plans. It begins and ends with God. Key number two is a powerful combination of three little words… “we will do”. You know how I love those action verbs! So I ask again, what might you do if you really believed that God was here to help you? What would you attempt for His kingdom if you truly believed that God’s own Spirit lived within you to empower you?

You are, no doubt, familiar with the term ‘armchair quarterbacks’. In the Christian culture there are a lot of armchair Christian warriors and servants. They know all the plays that should have been made, critique the efforts of the movers and the shakers and yet, they never leave the comfort of their armchairs. “With God we will do mightiness” and “In God we will do strength.” There is a visible disconnect between what they claim to believe and what they actually DO for God’s kingdom.

My challenge to you is to give this some serious thought and prayer. Ask God for direction and guidance. Then get out of the proverbial armchair and DO. Psalm 108:13 With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
