Attuned to God

For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13 NIV)

 Making ourselves available to God requires intentionality on our part. We consciously decide that we are going to be attuned to God, that we will give Him opportunity to communicate with us—by making time for Him, by seeking out a quiet place, and quieting our inner selves so that we are in the right frame of mind to listen to Him.
 Our spiritual and practical availability is our declaration to the Lord that He is a full partner in our lives and that we want His involvement in all we do. It’s an open invitation for the Holy Spirit to not just dwell within us but to actively engage in our thoughts and actions.
 Of course, such an invitation has repercussions. When God’s Spirit connects with those who have made themselves available, the Spirit moves in their lives. When we’ve truly made ourselves available to Him, we are open to receive His guidance and direction.
 Making ourselves available to and for the Lord is a manifestation of God’s reign in our lives. It’s the application of what Jesus expressed when He said to pray, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Our availability aligns us with God’s will, reign, and Spirit. It is within this alignment that we find satisfaction and experience well-being and contentment. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 When you yield yourself in complete and whole-hearted obedience to God, He can do great things through you. —Jim George
