Three more questions from our "Bible Quiz" playing cards (we are getting toward the bottom of the deck!):
1) What weapons did David use to fight the giant Goliath?
2) What was the name of Moses' brother?
3) What was the name of Jesus' disciple who once cut a man's ear off with a sword?
"For God is at work within you,
helping you want to obey him,
and then helping you do what he wants."
~ Philippians 2:13 LB
Bible Commentary: God has not left us alone in our struggles to do his will. He wants to come alongside us and within us to help. He helps us want to obey him and then gives us the power to do it. The secret to changing our lives is to submit to his control and let him work in us. To change our desires to be more like Christ, we need the power of the indwelling Spirit, the influence of faithful Christians, obedience to God's Word, and sacrificial service. Often it is doing God's will that we gain the desire for it.
