“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” | Philippians 2: 13-14

Being the sinner I am, knowing my weakness and inability, God has provided me just what I need; He suits my needs.

His Word suits my need. It tells me of God and who He is, what He does in this world and what He will do in the world to come. His Word tells of His absolute sovereignty, of how He can be a just God and Savior. That salvation is by His will, not man’s. That salvation is what God does for man, not what man does for God.

His will suits me from the top of my head down to my feet. I know His will is the best thing for me. Thank God He has not left me to my will, but in His infinite wisdom orders all things for my good and His glory. His Will is perfect, which suits my imperfection.

The Lord Jesus Christ suits my needs as a sinner: His blood cleanses me from all sin, His obedience is given in place of my rebellion, and His righteousness is given to me in place of my righteousness, which is a filthy rag.

His word tells me Christ Jesus came to save sinners. I am one of them. That He came to seek and save the lost, I was one of them. In fact I was so lost that only He could find me, and bless His holy name, He found me and saved me from my sin which was so great.

His word tells me that not only has He saved me from my sin and my rebellion, but that He will carry on His work. Not one for whom He died will ever be cast out, which gives assurance that I will not ever be forsaken of Him.

Yes, everything from His Word, His will, and His Son and the salvation that He has given me suits me perfectly.
