Evidence God Is at Work in Our Lives

The evidence of His work in our lives is the by-product of the work He has given us to do based on the talents He’s placed in us. Whatever our age and stage in life, He is working through our relationships with the people He has placed around us. The work we do is meant to point to Him. The way we live is meant to lead others to Him. We are made in His image. We are evidence of God. The Great Commission envelopes us as it did the original twelve disciples, to ‘Go!’ God’s goal is to reach every ear with the Gospel, and He’s never failed to keep a promise. We are part of that promise. Not because He needs us, but out of His love for us. The work He gives us isn’t easy, but it’s light. Matthew recorded Jesus words:

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

The evidence of God’s work in our lives is the way we live them, in pursuit of Him. Telling of Him, not only with our mouths delivering Gospel truth, but our lives putting it on full display, bringing glory to Him with everyone who comes to know Him through us.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (Colossians 3:23).

Life has a purpose we cannot fully see from our limited perspective. Whatever we find ourselves doing, we’re called to do with all of our hearts. Not perfectly, because that’s an impossible thing for us to attain. God wants the totality of our hearts to be dedicated to Him. Our part is to put Him first, not ourselves and not the opinions or approval of other people. Jesus came to serve, not to be served. Our part is to serve others with all of our hearts. Paul wrote to Timothy,

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Our part is not to lose perspective on our dependance upon Christ alone and our need for constant forgiveness and redemption in this life. “For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost,” Luke recorded Jesus’ saying (Luke 19:10). Our part is remembering we once were lost, and now are on a mission for the lost. To be evidence of Jesus to the people in our lives, which brings glory to God.
