"For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the
power to do what pleases Him."
|
Great things have been accomplished for the kingdom of God because
great men and women have been willing to do what others were not willing
to do.
Do you sense God leading you with firm persuasion to obey Him, but
you're just not willing to follow through? Those moments in which our
hearts honestly proclaim, "Should I forgive? Yes, but I am not
willing to do so. Should I serve? Yes, but I am not willing to do
so. Should I be faithful? Yes, but I am not willing to do so.
God, I love you, but I don't have the will to do what you are asking me
to do." God's reply is simple, yet profound. "Yes, I know
that you are not willing. But this one thing I ask of you, are you
willing to be made willing?" Amazing! All He needs is our yieldedness to
His power that is so complete it can actually cause us to want to do
that which pleases Him.
In other words, He will make a
way...
where there is a will.
