It Is God Who Operates in Us

Let's Pray:

Lord, we do not like to do anything by ourselves. We are in fear and trembling before You. Lord, save us and rescue us from making mistakes.

Hymn: 1205

Today's Verses and Footnotes: Phil. 2:5-16

Key Verse:

Phil. 2:13 For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for His good pleasure.

Filling the Blanks:

The willing is within; the working is ( ). The willing takes place in our ( ), indicating that God's operation begins from our ( ) (cf. 4:23) and spreads into our mind, emotion, and will. This corresponds with Rom. 8, where we see that God works from our spirit (Rom. 8:4), through our mind (Rom. 8:6), and eventually into our ( ) . (See Phil. 2:13 note 4)
