Weekly Pursuit – Week 1 of January
Verses:
Phil. 2:13 “For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for His good pleasure.”
Excerpts:
Everything that is covered in the book of Philippians is under God’s operating move. God has a move on this earth, and He moves by His operating. Whatever Christ is to us is for the operating of God. We should care for God’s operating in us. Our God is living, moving, and operating in you and me continuously.
The current of electricity in a building is a very good illustration of God’s operating. When we enter into the building, it may seem that nothing is working there because everything is quiet. However, there is an operating going on, and this quiet operating is vigorous. The operating of the electricity in the building enables all the appliances, machines, and devices in the building to move and function. If this electricity is switched off, everything in the building is shut down. The more I have experienced God throughout the years, the more I realize that God’s move within us is a very quiet, fine operation. He operates in us quietly and finely.
What matters is not whether we are good or bad according to our natural constitution but the fact that we have received the operating God. God is now operating in us. If we have the spiritual discernment, the spiritual realizing power, we
can see that all the things in the book of Philippians related to God’s operating in us are great. (Living in and with the Divine Trinity, ch. 12)
