Week 20- God Transforms Us

In the lead up to Pentecost, it can be tempting to focus on the signs of the Holy Spirit working in the Church today- tongues, prophecy and all types of miracles. These things are wonderful, but the readings this week kick off with something vital - rest.
 
With Psalm 92, written for the Sabbath, we understand that true rest comes from relinquishing any ideas of control we have over our own lives, handing it over in thanks and praise to our Father. When we are planted in Him, we flourish (Psalm 92:13). It is He that gives us the inspiration and ability to do what is right (Ezekiel 36:27) as we are transformed into His image by beholding His glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). He’s done it before with Zaccheus and Paul, and He can do it again.

God has a plan He is preparing us for, however far away from His holiness we may feel.

As we reflect on this, be encouraged to behold Him in a place of prayer, taking confidence in His presence to explore deeper who God is and what he says over us.
