As we journey on in the Christian life, have we ever considered what God truly desires? Have we reflected on the possibility that what we deem important may not hold the same significance in His eyes? Our Christian life can often be filled with outward activities and busyness, yet we may overlook the deeper, inward aspect of our walk with Him. It is easy to justify our spiritual efforts by focusing on external works, but God's focus is always on our inner life.
In Ephesians 3:16, Paul prays that the Ephesian believers would be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit in their inner being. Similarly, Psalm 51:6 reveals that God desires truth in our innermost parts. But what truth is being referred to here? Since God Himself is the embodiment of truth, this truth speaks of the reality of God within us. His desire is to impart His life and nature into us, shaping us into the image of His Son. Through His Spirit, He continually dispenses Himself into us so that we may experience the reality of His very essence within our being.
As we engage in spiritual disciplines—such as personal prayer, studying His Word, and Godly fellowship—we open ourselves to this divine infusion. If this is what God desires, it should become our desire as well. However, His work within us does not stop here. As we experience more of Him, His unsearchable riches begin to shape our character, producing divine virtues within us. This inward reality then manifests outwardly, enabling us to be vessels of His grace to others.
May we, as God’s redeemed people, continually receive His life within us, allowing His presence to saturate our entire being. As a result, we will bear much fruit for His glory, faithfully serving in His kingdom.
