God works to will and to do

A very dear friend recently encouraged me with words from Phillipians 2:13.
"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to act of his good pleasure." (KJV)

This truth is exactly what I need for today! 

In order to make sure that I had a good understanding of the verse, I looked the word 'will' up in the concordance. And this is what it means: to have in mind, to purpose or be determined, to desire, to love, and to take desire in.

So, if you're like me today or any other day for that matter, please seek and find comfort in the Word. Be not weary in well doing. God is intimately aware of all that you endure. Whatever is needed for mine and your situation, God has made crooked paths straight and is a lamp unto our feet.

I'm going to take my own advice and relax.... "Ahhhhh....Woooo-sah..."

Not on the beach in a bikini, but in the words of my dear Saviour. I'm going to rest in his grace--aware that I am deficient but that He is all sufficient. He is all that I need to get through. HE works (operates, puts forth power) in me, to desire, to take pleasure in, and to be determined to do of His good pleasure (which is His will and His delight).
