I love 1 Thessalonians 5:24. It says, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” Think of 2 Timothy 2:13. This is one of my anchor verses. It says, “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” What a solid inalterable truth that we can cling to.

He is the One who does the work. Think of us as a glove and He is the Hand. He empowers us through His resurrection power. Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”

The Greek word for works is energeo. Paul described it in Ephesians 3:7 of the revelation of the mystery that was given to him. It says, “Of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.” The Greek word working is the same as in Colossians 1:29. An empowerment of grace-strength to always abound in His work. 1 Corinthians 15:58.
