We read a devotional by John Piper that talked about how God gives us the grace and the ability to carry out his will. This is refreshing because he does, indeed, command many things for the believer, but we can either become overwhelmed by the commands and give up, or we can try to carry these out by our own will...which ends in failure or religious effort.
God enables us to do what he commands us to do. Praise Him! He is sovereign and in control of it all, from his plans in our lives to how they get accomplished!
