In his song of repentance and restoration after his sin with Bathsheba, David cried, “Grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.”  He needed God’s help to maintain a heart that was obedient to God’s ways.

Again, he says “Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power.”  (Ps. 110:3)

As he saw the way God’s power and our will related to each other, Paul states, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”

We can only be truly willing to do God’s will when we call upon His strength to do it.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, we are desperate for You.  Apart from You, we can do nothing.

DAILY READING:  Ps. 46-51
