"For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose"-Philippians 2:13 (NIV).
Before you were born, God called you and even now He mentions you by name (Isaiah 49:1). Isn't is comforting to know God's lips have uttered your name? There is always concern that we won't fulfill His purpose for us, but today's Scripture declares it is God who puts the desire to act according to His purpose in us. It's not by our own wisdom, strength, or talent. Praise the Lord! We can't take credit; all the glory and honor is His. It is God who leads us down the right path (Psalm 23:3). So, trust the Lord with all of your heart. Don't try to understand (Proverbs 3:5), for Scripture says it pleases our heavenly Father to give us the kingdom (Luke 12:32). Thank God for His indescribable gift (2 Corinthians 9:15)!
