My little addition to Our Daily Bread (11/28/11):
13For it is God who is working in you, [enabling you] both to will and to act for His good purpose. 14Do everything without grumbling and arguing, 15so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world.
(Philippians 2:13-15 HCSB)
I’ve often held out verses 14-15 as something I aim to live out. Henry Ford is attributed with the quote “If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.” Verse thirteen really jumped out as me this morning as a reminder that there is a reason I feel inadequate to the task: because it takes Divine power working in and through us to accomplish His purpose.
