The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "God in Us" Bible Reading: Philippians 2:12-13 for Wednesday, 26 October 2016
Philippians 2:12 So, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed when I was with you, it is even more important that you obey now when I am away from you: keep working out your deliverance with fear and trembling,[Philippians 2:12 Psalm 2:11] 13 for God is the one working among you both the willing and the working for what pleases him.

Elisha threw a stick into the water and a lost ax head floated to the top of the water (2 Kings 6:1-7). The Israelites marched around the city of Jericho, blowing trumpets and shouting, and the walls of the city fell down (Joshua 6:20).
What do these two events have in common? They are both miracles. In each case, God took a bad situation and used His power to make it better. Normally, iron ax heads don't float on the water and people marching around a city do not cause walls to fall down. But when we depend on God to help us, wonderful things can happen.
Verse 13 of our Bible Reading reminds us that God works in our lives. "He helps you want to do what pleases him, and he gives you the power to do it" (verse 13b). God and Christians are a team, working together to make great things happen in His kingdom!
Allow God to work in your life today to bring honor and glory to Him.[BL]
"And there are different ways
that God works in people, but it
is the same God who works in
all of us to do everything."[1 Corinthians 12:6]
PRAYER: Father, please work in my life today to do great things for You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
