He Will Do It

UV 3509/10000 He Will Do It
Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you ( to Himself for your salvation), and He will do it ( He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own.

I Thessalonians 5 v 24

Since God is faithful and absolutely worthy of trust, He will do it. He will consecrate us to be set apart for Him, to serve Him. He will sanctify us, make us pure, refine us, make us complete and whole in Him. We are His workmanship but since we are also autonomous and having free will, at no point or time, we should walk away as His hands are working on us. In four words, St Paul expresses his confidence in God, “He will do it.” We do not have to fret or fume. We do not have to be anxious, perturbed for He will do it. He will do that which He has called us for – our salvation. He will save us. He will do that which He has purposed for us- to be His witnesses.


Sometimes, the enemy assails us with doubts whether we would fulfill our calling, our mission in life, the vision the Lord has given us. We must make our minds doubt-proof by meditating on the character of the Lord- His reliability. None of our prayers will be in vain for He will answer every one in His time and in His way. . He will preserve us from evil from within and without. We only need to hang on or cherish every word He has spoken to us either through a specific word we received or a prophetic utterance through someone sent our way to encourage us. As we cherish His word, we also should be determined to stay blemishless, faithful to the very end. We cannot be like the waves of the sea that are driven in every possible direction or like flotsam on a flooded river, driven hither and thither. We should choose the wind, the Holy Spirit and the direction we are to be driven in and persist in that direction.


We can be assured of His protective grace, His wise guidance, His leading. We should show our faith by doing what is possible for us and He will show His faithfulness by doing what is impossible for us. We should meditate on the person, the teachings, the deeds of Jesus during His earthly sojourn and beyond. It was impossible for Him to turn water into wine except He be God. It was impossible for Him to walk on water except He be God. It was impossible for Him to call the dead like Lazarus to life except He be God. It was impossible for Him to feed the multitude by multiplying five tiny home-made loaves of bread and two fish. Our need will never outrun His capacity to fulfill it. Jesus never materialized the bread and fish out of nothing. He multiplied the available. He saw the need, felt the hunger of the crowd, assessed what they had on hand and then, blessed it to multiply to meet the need. He satisfied their spiritual hunger with His word and their physical hunger with bread and fish. Likewise, even in this day and time, He assesses our need, our available resources and multiplies it to meet the need and still have some to spare.
