Anticipate God’s Involvement

“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways.” (Isaiah 64:4–5)

In these verses, we see an example of the soak, sow, and flow principle. Isaiah reaped from the Spirit a response in direct correlation to his relationship with God. This gives us insight into how God moves and works in the life of the believer whose heart hungers and thirsts for his presence! When we spend time with God, we will experience the power that flows from the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who enables us to perform the activities God has planned for us!

It is the Holy Spirit who reveals what God wants us to do. It is the Holy Spirit who opens the doors of opportunity that enable us to accomplish the works God has set for us to do. It is the Holy Spirit who makes us into instruments God can use. It is the Holy Spirit who engineers the circumstances that allow us to respond to God’s will. We have nothing except what we have received from him.

How exciting it is that God, our Creator, is active in our lives and circumstances through the work of the Holy Spirit! It is both wonderful and encouraging to know that God has plans for us, and that he will fulfill those plans through us.
