Psalms 40:17 (MSG)-“And me? I’m a mess. I’m nothing and have nothing: make something of me. You can do it; you’ve got what it takes– but God, don’t put it off. “

Transformation in a man’s life is God’s work. Only God has the resource(s) to do it. We should desire and pray for it. We should plead for Him to do it right now. The person who is concerned about his life, should realize that he is a mess. He is nothing and he has nothing. This is a very difficult thing for any person to accept. God has to work in a man’s life to make him realize it. This is the starting point of true transformation- to know the real “I am.”

Then we need to know the real God. What He can do in our life and what the resources are; that make us closer to God. God can do the “impossible.” God is God. God loves to do the “impossible” for people! We need to plead with Him to do this for us. We must earnestly seek Him from the bottom of our heart. We must trust in Him to do His work in us. Let us plead with Him to do it right now!

This is what David was doing in Psalms 40:17. No wonder he became a man after God’s own heart!

We need to desire God’s transforming work to continue in our lives. When we are humble and realistic, we can get acquainted with and the resourceful and powerful God of the universe. Indeed God is seeking this transformation. He listens to our pleas. Let’s trust Him to make “something” out of us!

2 Cor. 3:17-18 (MSG)- “They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.

May God “work” a real and deep transformation in us!
