He Makes Us to Will AND Do...

All the great temptations appear first in the region of the mind and can be fought and conquered there. We have been given the power to close the door of the mind. We can lose this power through disuse or increase it by use, by the daily discipline of the inner man in things which seem small and by reliance upon the word of the Spirit of truth. It is God that worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

It is as though He said,

 'Learn to live in your will, not in your feelings.'

 

~Amy Carmichael

 

Is this a reality for you?

It is becoming more and more a reality for me

for which I humbly say:

Praise the Lord!

I want more of His way today and always for His glory...

 

"Wherefore, my beloved,

 as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only,

 but now much more in my absence,

 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For it is God which worketh in you

 both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure. "

Phil. 2:12, 13
