Philippians 2:13 (ESV) for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Notice that this scripture does not say how God accomplishes His will and work. Yesterday I left you to ponder which type of believer you are, faith based or scientist. It does not matter to God which one you are because it accomplishes God’s will for you. Some of us need to accept and some of us need to understand. Neither group needs to fear the other nor feel superior in any way.

We were speaking about essential truth and how each of us comes about understanding truth. Yesterday’s opening scriptures identified God the Father as the one true God. All other gods are false yet people seem to find a way to believe in some other god. Some are just as dedicate to a false god as we are to our God. Some will even die martyrs to prove themselves because they have no other way.

What does God have to do to prove Himself to you? That is a very personal question only you can answer. God has proven Himself to me in ways that others have not experienced. I was too rebellious to accept God in conventional ways. God had to get my attention in ways I would understand and accept. Praise God that He did and praise God that others are not as hardheaded as I am.

I am still hardheaded but God uses that to His advantage. He knew what He was getting when He got me and He also knows how to get the most out of me. It is not any different for other believers. God knows how to extract what He needs from each of us. For some it is faith and for others a deep dive for understanding.
