What has God done for you?

‘…Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.’ 1 Corinthians 1.24

On many occasions you may find yourself asking for God’s help, either silently or audibly.  It may be that you don’t know what to do or that something has happened and you desperately need help – so you turn to God and ask him to intervene.

Before you begin to ask for things, it’s worth considering what he has already given to you – Jesus!  This is the Jesus who said that he came that you might have abundant life, who gave his life for you and who promised to be with you always.  In other words, you have been given so much already so why would he withhold other good things from you?

It’s interesting though, that as well as being the power of God, Christ is also the wisdom of God.  He knows the best way to give you the things for which you pray, which might not always coincide with the way you think he should answer your prayers.

Part of our worship is to stand before Jesus with gratitude for what he has already done for us, with expectation for the way he will answer our prayers, and with surrender for the fact that he will bring about his glory in our lives.
