Together With

For we are labourers together with God: 1 Corinthians 3:9a

I have no idea how many times I've read this verse, but that's the great thing about the Bible--it's a living book that can show you something new everytime. I'd never really caught what this phrase is saying. We hear all the time that God wants to use us, to work through us, to work in us. But God wants more than that. God wants to work WITH us. God has great faith in you! He believes in you, is confident in you. God is involved with man and with His work in this world...but He also entrusts it to us. He wants us to have a part in His work, not as mere tools, but in the capacity of partners. God knows you, He loves you...and God TRUSTS you!
