Monday: The Divine-Human Combination
What is your greatest accomplishment ever? Chances are, whatever you achieved did not happen simply by your rolling out of bed in the morning. If we want to achieve something worthwhile in this life, it takes time and effort. Our discipleship to Christ is no different.
Read Colossians 1:28-29. Though Paul talks about God working in him, in what ways does he show the human effort also involved? See also Deuteronomy 4:4, Luke 13:24, 1 Corinthians 9:25, Hebrews 12:4.

In Colossians 1:29 there is a very interesting insight into the way Paul sees his relationship with God in this work. He says that he is struggling — but with the power of God.
The word for “labor” means to “grow weary,” to “work to the point of exhaustion.” This word was used particularly of athletes as they trained. The word for “struggle,” which comes next, can mean in some languages “to agonize.” So, we have the word picture of an athlete straining with everything to win. But then Paul adds a twist to the idea, because Paul is straining, not with everything he has, but with everything that God gives him. So we are left with a simple conclusion about Paul’s ministry — it was a ministry done with great personal effort and discipline, but done with God’s power. This relationship works in exactly the same way as we pursue the development of Christ’s character in us.
This is important to remember, because we live in a world in which we want more and more with less and less effort. That idea has crept into Christianity, too. Some Christian evangelists promise that if you just believe, the Holy Spirit will fall upon you with amazing supernatural power and perform great miracles. But this can be a dangerous half-truth, because it can lead people to the conclusion that we just need to wait for God’s power to come while sitting comfortably in our seats!
| What is your own experience with the kind of striving Paul talked about? What things has God laid upon your heart that you are struggling with? How can you learn to surrender to God’s will? |
Amen!

Atti 17:12,13 – Molti di loro, dunque, credettero, e così pure un gran numero di nobildonne greche e di uomini. Ma quando i Giudei di Tessalonica vennero a sapere che la Parola di Dio era stata annunziata da Apolo anche a Berea, si recarono là, agitando e mettendo sottosopra la folla.

More Than 4,100,000 Ukrainian Refugees Cross Polish-Ukrainian Border; and other world news
ANN this week: First in the news, More than four million 100 thousand refugees from Ukraine have crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border since the beginning of the conflict. Adventist Disaster and Relief Agency (ADRA) helps them with shelter, food, and mental health support. In Bangkok, Thailand, the Southern Asia-Pacific Division of Seventh-day Adventists held its first Communication Advisory Meeting after two years of lockdown. Communication leaders from all thirteen unions, as well as world church leaders from the General Conference and Hope Channel International, convened to discuss opportunities of expanding the Adventist brand to evangelize and share the gospel with people who want to know Jesus. On Sabbath morning, July 23rd, Daniel R. Jackson, former president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America, passed to his rest after several months of battling cancer. Jackson, who served the Adventist Church for 49 years, retired in July of 2020 after serving as the North American Division president for a decade. Week of Prayer inspires young people in South America to serve through social and spiritual activities. During the month of July, the Adventist Church throughout the territorya holds several Youth Week of Prayer events. After waiting three years, due to Covid-19 restrictions, young adults in Sweden were finally able to meet in person and spend a weekend at Västeräng Camp. The camp motivated the youth to be followers of Jesus, and not just be fans. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YULqeLk8R3I
