Phil2

"God is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His good purpose." Think about that verse! It is God living in us that gives us any desire or ability to obey Him. Wow. Desiring God and obeying God are both gifts from God.

As children of God, we should be grateful for both our desire to follow Him and any ability to actually do so. There are many who have the desire (which is from God), but lack the follow through. Others have the desire and actually do the work of obedience. This is the work of faith. When desire and action meet, you have christian maturity.

Seek to obey God fully today. It won't be easy. It will be worth it.
