THE WILL AND THE ABILITY TO DO

THE WILL AND THE ABILITY TO DO
THE SEED
“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” – Philippians 2:13 (NKJV)

At times, we struggle to do what we know is right. The right action may feel difficult or unappealing, but God promises to help us. He works within us, giving us both the desire and the strength to do what pleases Him. Through daily submission to God, we can learn to delight in doing good. Whether it’s resisting temptation, practicing humility, or forgiving an offence, God equips us to act in ways that honour Him. By working out our salvation with caution and self-evaluation (Philippians 2:12), we allow God’s transformative power to shape our desires and actions. Invite God into your daily decisions, trusting Him to guide and strengthen you. Over time, He will help you not only to do the right thing but to find joy in it. God not only calls us to live according to His will—He also empowers us to do it. Trust Him to provide both the desire and the ability to walk in obedience.

BIBLE READING: Philippians 2:12-16

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I submit to You. Help me to desire and delight in doing what pleases You. Amen.
