"Father, I need you to guide my sword..."

Phil 2.13: For it is God Which worketh in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.

Do any of you feel the need of renewing will-power? Satan loves to attack our wills. This is a great word for that--it came with fresh force this morning: this is Dr. Way's rendering: "You have not to do it in your unaided strength: it is God Who is all the while supplying the impulse, giving you the power to resolve, the strength to perform, the execution of His good-pleasure."

With Heavenly power endue us,
With Heavenly love fulfil,
Perform in us Thy pleasure,
Teach us to do Thy will.
-from Edges of His Ways, by Amy Carmichael
