Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
Almost every person has, at one point in time or the other, come to the conclusion that life is not easy. The journey takes much effort and fortitude to accomplish those things that we want to do. However, for the disciple, we have the advantage. Paul tells us here that even after God redeems us and cleans us up subsequent to bringing us into his family; he continues to work on us daily to bring about the changes we need.
This verse in Philippians says that his Spirit is continually working in us to motivate us through Godly desire and also empowers us to tackle any difficult task that lies before us. For those of us who have discovered or are in the process of discovering our calling in life and in the kingdom of God – it is often intimidating and foreboding what is being asked of us. However, God is always with us (even when we don’t feel him) to point, show, guide, teach, mentor, empower and accomplish that which he commands. When we obey, we become one with the Word of God and anything that he sends forth his word to do – it will be accomplished.
Selah.
