作成你们得救的功夫。（腓二12-13）
你的意志是与神一致的，但你肉体中有一种倾向，叫你无法实行所该行的。当主进入你的心，良心就会唤醒意志，而意志必定是与神一致的。你会说：“可是我不知道自己的意志是否与神的一致。”仰望耶稣，你就必发现你的良心与意志是与他相合的。那在你里面叫你说“我不会”的，是比意志更薄弱的背逆顽梗，它们永远与神背道而驰。在人最深处的是他的意志，而不是罪。意志是神创造人最基本的元素；罪确实闯进人心的偏颇性情。一个重生的人意志的根源是全能的神。“因为你们立志行事，都是神在你们心里运行，为要成就他的美意。”
你要把神在你身上所成就的，谨慎地活出来。你不是自己去成全救恩，而是活出救恩，以坚定不移的信心倚靠主完全的救赎，作为根基。这样，你心里所发出来的意志，就不会与神相违；神的旨意就是你的旨意，你顺其自然的选择就会跟神的旨意一致，生命乃像呼吸一样自然。神是你意向的根源。因此你可以完成他的旨意。顽梗是不明智的楔子，阻碍真理，不肯受光照；唯一的方法是用炸药把它炸开，这炸药就是对圣灵的顺服。
我相信全能的神是我意志的源头吗？神不但期望我遵行他的旨意，他更在我里面实行出来。
祈祷◆主啊，当我仰望你的时候，求你高举我。求你将你的脸光光照我，让我可以将它反照给你。
June 6 Work Out What God Works In
“Work out your own salvation.” Philippians 2:12-13
Your will agree with God, but in your flesh there is a disposition which renders you powerless to do what you know you ought to do. When the Lord is presented to the conscience, the first thing conscience does is to rouse the will, and the will always agree with God. You say – “But I do not know whether my will is in agreement with God.” Look to Jesus and you will find that your will and your conscience are in agreement with Him every time. The thing in you which makes you say “I shan't” is something less profound than your will; it is perversity, or obstinacy, and they are never in agreement with God. The profound thing in man is his will, not sin. Will is the essential element in God's creation of man: sin is a perverse disposition which entered into man. In a regenerated man the source of will is almighty. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” You have to work out with concentration and care what God works in; not work your own salvation, but work it out, while you base resolutely in unshaken faith on the complete and perfect Redemption of the Lord. As you do this, you do not bring an opposed will to God's will, God's will is your will, and your natural choices are along the line of God's will, and the life is as natural as breathing. God is the source of your will, therefore you are able to work out His will. Obstinacy is an unintelligent ‘wadge’ that refuses to be enlightened; the only thing is for it to be blown up with dynamite, and the dynamite is obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Do I believe that Almighty God is the source of my will? God not only expects me to do His will, but He is in me to do it.
