Where is God already at work?

Back to SG Leaders Hub

One of our ‘GRLC Guiding Principles’ relates to the question: Where is God already at work?

This is a very helpful question when it comes to the practical outworking of our day to day discipleship. What is God doing and how do I join Him in what He is already doing? These are key questions, but how? How can I find out where God may be at work in my world, where I live, where I work, in my community?

The following is taken from Henry and Richard Blackaby’s book “Experiencing God”:

Experiencing God & Moses' example

The experience of Moses beautifully portrays how God works in a person’s life.  His early life and call to ministry are described in chapters 2, 3, and 4 of Exodus (you may want to read those chapters). Other passages show how Moses came to know and follow God’s will.  Moses’ experience at the burning bush clearly illustrates the way God invites people to join Him in His work.  Henry and Richard Blackaby could have chosen any number of other people, such as Noah, Abraham, Esther, David, Mary, the disciples, or Paul. The following looks at this process and how Moses experienced each reality.

Each of the 7 points above represent an invitation, but they are also potential barriers for us:

  • Is God really at work?
  • Does God love me in a real and personal way?
  • Does God really want me to join him in what he is doing?
  • Does God speak?
  • If he does will he speak to me?
  • Do I have the courage to join
  • God in what he is doing?
  • What if I don’t want to make adjustments in my life let alone major adjustments?
  • What if I am struggling to obey?
