“...for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13 (NASB)
Each day that we wake up we have the opportunity to remember what a wonderful God we have. He loves us and cares for us and wants the very best for us. He does have plans for each of us. There are certain things that are expected of us and we need to know how we are going to meet those expectations. The answer to that question is given to us in today's verse. God Himself is the one who is at work in each of us. He it is who is helping us to be willing and to work for His good pleasure. This is a good thing from our good and perfect God. You can understand that God is working in us to make us want to please Him. He gives us the desires to do what He expects of us – what He has created us to do. Then, God works in us to help us do what He wants. We do not have to do this on our own and on our own, we never could. We need and have God enabling us to desire and do what pleases Him and we can trust Him for this promise today, right now, this very moment.
